This is the final report of the project “Ascending evacuation in long stairways: Physical
exertion, walking speed and behaviour”. This project investigated the effects of fatigue on …

Stair ascending performance is critical during evacuation from buildings and underground
infrastructures. Healthy subjects performed self-paced ascent in three settings: 13 floor …

This laboratory study examined human stair ascending capacity and constraining factors
including legs' local muscle fatigue (LMF) and cardiorespiratory capacity. Twenty-five …

Background/Aims The ability to climb stairs is an important prerequisite for activities of daily
living and social participation in older adults, and is therefore an important part of …

Physical exhaustion can constrain human ascending work capacity and performance during
emergency evacuation on stairs. The overall aim of this research was to explore and …

Objective The aims of this study were (a) to examine the surface electromyography (sEMG)
amplitude values of the lower limb muscles during stair climbing both between different …

During step descent, lower extremity musculature is critical for positioning the foot and ankle
for initial contact and stabilizing the structures following contact. Although continuous stair …

Methods: The present study was of a semi-experimental. The statistical population includes
the older adults of Ardabil city and the statistical sample consist of 30 older adults (including …

Background: People with the knee osteoarthritis (OA) might change their kinematic and
kinetic patterns as a compensatory mechanism possibly to decrease pain during movement …

Objective: To control the rate at which body weight drops, forefoot initiates floor contact with
the limb relatively extended at each joint. However, when the knee joints could not extend …
