The physical therapy program is interested in the use of telehealth as a way to screen for frailty in community-dwelling older adults using the modified Physical Performance Test. The study will be taking place Monday and Wednesday afternoons through April 28 (note updated days) in the Roberts Center.
Appointments are available for one-hour time slots between 3:30 and 6 p.m.
In order to qualify for this study, you must:
- Be 60-90 years old
- Live independently or in an assisted living facility
- Be able to walk without the help of another person
- Pass a mental status exam
In order to qualify for this study, you must not:
- Have been diagnosed with a neurological condition
- Have a current illness or health issues that would make performing physical activities unsafe
If you qualify for this study, you may be asked to come to campus, where you will be asked to perform a physical performance test both in a lab setting and a telehealth setting.
Cameras will record the movement of markers that will be placed on your body, and force plates in the ground will record your foot contact during the sit-to-stand activity in the lab. Your performance during the telehealth activities will be recorded.
The testing session will last approximately one hour. If interested, please contact research staff member Lyndsay Stutzenberger (lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2463).

Spouses and dependents of employees are now permitted to use the Hadlock Student Center, effective today (Friday). If a spouse or adult dependent has a George Fox ID card, they need to login to MyGeorgeFox on their personal account and sign this year’s waiver.
If a spouse or adult dependent needs an ID card, they must email the IT Help Desk (servicedesk@georgefox.edu) to request one and a login to MyGeorgeFox. Once the waiver is completed and the spouse or adult dependent has a valid ID, they will be able to use the Hadlock Student Center.
Spouses and adult dependents are able to participate in most programs and services that Hadlock offers, such as exercise classes and the climbing wall, with the exception of outdoor recreation trips and activities at this time.
For details on dependents 12 to 17 years of age, please see below, as our normal policy still applies. Dependents under the age of 12 are not permitted access at this time (with the exception of Family Days).
Here is our policy for family and dependents of employees:
- Full-time university employees can request a George Fox ID card for a spouse or dependent (aged 18 to 26) by emailing the IT Help Desk (servicedesk@georgefox.edu).
- Spouses and dependents are not allowed to use the employee’s ID card for entrance.
- A dependent is defined as a member of the household who is claimed as a dependent on the employee’s tax return.
- Dependents aged 12 to 17 can use the HSC while directly supervised by a parent/guardian although they are not required to obtain a George Fox ID card.
