Physician Assistant students, Julieth Alvarez Garcia, Phylicia Taladay, Seema Teymouri, Christina Vogel-Rosbrook and Chelsea Yager are looking for people willing to participate in a research study with the purpose of exploring relationships between cognition, postural control and gait. You must be between the ages of 18-69 years, able to walk without an assisted device and not be color blind. Individuals interested in participating would be asked qualifying questions which will take approximately 5 minutes. If you qualify you will participate in approximately 75 minutes of data collection, with the first 15 minutes being spent on instructions and set-up. You’ll spend the next 60 minutes completing a series of questionnaires regarding your demographics, diet, sleep habits, exercise habits, mood, stress levels and motivation; cognitive tasks and you’ll be asked to complete a postural assessment and walk for 2 minutes. Participants will be entered into a drawing for a Fitbit.
If interested in participating in the study please contact us via email cognitionandgait@gmail.com for more information.
