Volunteers Needed For Third Year Project Experiments

The aim of this research is to analyse the pressure applied by the human foot during normal walking and how this varies in individuals who may have suffered a foot injury in the past. If you choose to participate you will be asked to walk several times along a pre-determined course within the School of Engineering’s Gait Laboratory floor whilst fitted with TekScan F-Scan equipment, that allows the pressure exerted by each foot as you walk to be measured. All equipment is non-invasive, poses no notable risk to participants and I have received full training in its use. Further information about the equipment can be found here: http://www.tekscan.com/medical/system-fscan1.html.
Experiments should last no more than 30 minutes. Unfortunately due to the nature of the project, financial reimbursement for time cannot be provided.

If anybody is interested, or you have any further questions, could you please contact myself at h.alexander@warwick.ac.uk as soon as possible.

Emergency and Support Links

For emergencies or urgent safety concerns, please contact the University 24-hour Community Safety line: +44 (0)2476 522083. Community Safety operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In the event of an emergency on campus requiring ambulance, police or fire brigade, call 22222 from an internal telephone. If you are on campus and you use a mobile to call for an emergency service (999), you should also then call 024 76 5 22222. This alerts the University Community Safety team and will enable the emergency vehicle to be speedily escorted to where it is required on the campus.

If you're struggling but it's not an emergency, please contact Wellbeing.

If you are a parent or guardian there is more information on what to do if you have concerns: warwick.ac.uk/services/wss/parents/#concern.
