St. Joseph's University Looking for Volunteers for Falls Assessment Study
 
St. Joseph's University has an ongoing IRB-approved study on fall risk for middle-aged and older adults and is looking for participants.
 
The study will test participants' balance while walking on a treadmill. The purpose of this study is to analyze balance responses, such as length of step and trunk movement. They are also interested in knowing what personal factors relate to better performance.  Those who meet the criteria and choose to participate will receive $40 for two visits, and will be given the results of their physical therapy tests (walking, balance tests etc.), so that they will learn more about their fall risk and physical abilities.
 
You can access information on the study here:  SJU Falls Assessment Study.
Season Finale of Keyboard Conversations at the Kimmel Center
 
Jeffrey Siegel returns to the Kimmel Center to present "The Romantic Music of Chopin and Liszt," on Monday night, April 1, at 7:30. This season's finale features legendary piano works by two of the 19th century's most popular composers. Experience an evening of gorgeous melodies and exhilarating virtuosity that will linger in your memory long after the last note has been played.  For more information and ticket purchase, click here.
