It is a completely mechanical stair lift alternative and is used by people who have still some gait function left. Contact us for a non-binding offer How do I use the AssiStep? On your way up the stairs: When climbing up the stairs, hold on to the lower part of the handle. Push th...
stair climbing, resting, weight bearing, and pain at night. Each subscale used the following descriptors: none (0 points), mild (1 point), moderate (2 points), severe (3 points), and extreme (4 points);
Traditional methods of staying fit are rewarding, they make us feel invincible and as though we can achieve anything, but some days you just want to throw some fun at your exercise schedule, feel like a bit of a child, and have a right old giggle with your girls while you sculpt thos...

While field walking tests are well-established measures of exercise capacity, alternative options involving walking of a shorter duration, stair or step climbing, and functional activities are also available. This review outlines these alternative tests and their relevant measurement properties, including ...
The 4-m gait speed and 30-m walking test are walking tests of shorter duration than traditional tests and may be a surrogate marker for exercise capacity. Stair climbing tests require greater body movement against gravity, often imposing a greater workload compared to field walking tests. ...
The aims of this study were (1) to determine how stair-climbing-based exercise snacks (ES) compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and (2) to explore whether ES could improve maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO) in inactive adults. ...
Interval training can be a time-efficient and effective alternative to traditional moderate-intensity exercise in cardiac rehabilitation programming, and an accessible way to deliver interval training is through stair climbing. PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of high-intensity inte...
Stair climbing is avoided more by women, the old, and the overweight than by their comparators. Two studies tested perceived steepness of the stairs as a cue that promotes this avoidance. In the first study, participants estimated the steepness of a staircase in a train station (n = 269)....
