Male volunteers, age 65 years and above, are being recruited to assist with a Motion Analysis study conducted by UCA’s Physical Therapy Department.
To participate, you must be able to: 1) stand from sitting on a bench without using your arms; and 2) stand from sitting without using your arms and immediately walk.
You will be asked to wear shorts to allow the researcher to place small reflective markers on your skin with tape. This will allow cameras to ?read? the markers and produce a digital computer image of you performing the two tasks.
The study will take place at the Physical Therapy Motion Lab, Room 107 in UCA’s Physical Therapy Center and will last approximately one hour. Data collection will begin this month.
You are asked not to eat or drink caffeine two hours prior to participation in the study. You are asked not to apply lotion or cologne to your skin to ensure proper adherence of the markers.
