The force plate stairway was designed in response to a growing need for assessing stair ambulation in subjects with mobility limitations. The force platform stairway is based up to use of a pair of new or pre-existing forceplates to which the special stairway unit is attached. A walkway can be easily converted into a stairway, thus expanding the ability of clinical laboratories to assess mobility in different ambulatory conditions.
