Volunteers needed for a university study which aims to reduce injury from falls amongst older people
Silas Purja, a research postgraduate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Surrey, is conducting a study “Investigating the Effect of Floor Stiffness on Standing and Walking Movement in Healthy Younger and Older Adults“. The research is being conducted to help improve safety and prevent injuries from falls in older adults.
He is looking for volunteers particularly in the 65+ age group, but also anyone aged 18+. The study involves walking and balancing on flooring of different hardnesses whilst being monitored. The session, in the Duke of Kent building on the Stag Hill Campus, lasts for approximately 2 hours. A parking permit is available together with a small payment of £10.
If you would be interested in volunteering please email Silas at sp00447@surrey.ac.uk Aside from helping with the project itself its quite interesting to see the experimental set-up and the visualisation of the data collected.
