DOI: 10.1016/j.apergo.2016.05.014
Abstract: The aim was to develop a quantitative approach to identify three stair-climbing ability levels of older adults: no, somewhat and considerable difficulty. Timed-up-and-go test, six-minute-walk test, and Berg balance scale were used for statistical comparison… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2020.110839
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Poor lighting has been associated with stair falls in young and older adults. However, current guidelines for illuminating stairs seem arbitrary, differ widely between sources, and are often difficult to interpret. AIMS Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2018.12.015
Abstract: Stair climbing is a readily available form of vigorous-intensity physical activity. Evidence indicates that placing stair prompt signs at points-of-decision (e.g. near elevators and stairways) is an inexpensive, effective strategy for increasing physical activity through… read more here.
