A group of students in the doctor of physical therapy program at Wichita State University is looking for participants aged 65 and older for a study on home exercise to improve balance and walking speed. The study may help the field of physical therapy improve their methods to improve balance and walking speed using home exercise programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
