Biomechanical and physical requirements of stair negotiation with respect to aging and stroke
The ability to safely and efficiently negotiate stairs is an essential skill for independent ambulation. To date, basic research to identify biomechanical and physical costs is limited in older adults. In persons with stroke, this aspect of mobility is virtually unexplored. The main objective of thi...
