The Daily Bruin

Missing music this summer? Come sing through some major works and octavos as part of the music department’s “Summer Sings!” series.

We will meet on Tuesday, May 28, to sing through Schubert’s Mass in G; on Tuesday, June 25, to sing through Frostiana by Randall Thompson; and on Tuesday, July 16, to sing through Vivaldi’s Gloria.

These sessions are open to all regardless of skill level. Hope you’ll come sing with us!

Please join us in the Bridge Cafe for our weekly patio specials. Every Tuesday and Thursday we will be cooking up specials out on the patio.

This week will look a bit different. We will not be hosting a patio special tomorrow (Tuesday) because of the staff barbecue on the quad. Our Thursday special will be penne and chicken ala vodka. We will also have the “Bridge Barbecue” with hamburgers and hot dogs.

We also have the GET Mobile App set up for summer. You can order the patio special ahead if you are short on time.

If you have any questions, please email Katie Anderson at andersonk@georgefox.edu.

Doctor of Physical Therapy students are conducting a study, “A Biomechanical Analysis of the Floor Transfer in Community-Dwelling Older Adults,” overseen by principal investigators Lyndsay Stutzenberger and Tyler Whited. We are interested in how older adults get up from the floor.

To participate in our study, you must

• Be 50-80 years of age
• Live independently or in an assisted living facility
• Be able to walk independently at least 15 feet with or without an assistive device
• Take a cognitive test
• Be willing to attempt to get up from a chair and from the floor

To participate, you must NOT have a diagnosis of a neurological condition or a current illness or health issue that would make performing study activities unsafe.

If you’re interested in participating in this study and meet the above criteria, you would come to the Medical Sciences Building on Werth Boulevard, where we would ask you to sign an informed consent form, answer questions on a questionnaire, perform a short mental status examination, and have your vitals (blood pressure and heart rate) taken. Depending on the results of these assessments, you may or may not be eligible for the study.

If you’re eligible, you’ll be asked to participate in one testing session that takes up to approximately one hour. During testing sessions you will fill out questionnaires and be asked to attempt to stand up from a chair without using your arms multiple times and get up from the floor multiple times. You will not be paid for being in this study or reimbursed for any costs associated with traveling to/from the George Fox campus.

You are able to stop participation in the study at any time and for any reason. No information that would identify you will be made public, and we do not feel there is more than minimal risk associated with this study.

If you’re still interested in participating, the next step is for us to schedule an appointment for testing. Please call 503-554-2463 or email Lyndsay Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu.
