Stair Test with Motion Sensors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure how well people climb stairs using small motion sensors. It includes people with different conditions and healthy volunteers to see if the test works for everyone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to climb 10 steps with someone watching, even holding a handrail.
- You must not need help from another person or use leg braces to do stairs.
- You must not have serious health problems like uncontrolled seizures or heart failure that make stairs unsafe.
- You must be able to follow simple instructions in Italian.
- Your age and health condition must match one of the groups: healthy, cerebral palsy, orthopedic (hip/knee replacement), leg amputee with prosthetic, Parkinson's, or stroke.

This study compares different stairway designs to see which are easier and safer for people with vision impairment. It will help identify features that make stairs more accessible.
This trial tests whether climbing stairs every day helps people with heart problems recover better during cardiac rehab. If you are in a rehab program and can walk without help, you may be able to participate.
This study aims to validate a simpler stepping-in-place test as an alternative to standard walking tests. Participants will perform the new test to see if it accurately measures functional capacity. It may offer a convenient way for people who use walking aids to assess their endurance.
This study tests a portable device that analyzes walking without markers. It aims to see if it can help assess walking in people with neuromuscular diseases and healthy volunteers, which could lead to simpler check-ups.
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
