TL;DR: Although evidence supports the effectiveness of stair interventions in public settings, less support is provided for worksites and key differences that may influence intervention effectiveness are explored.

TL;DR: Experimental tests prove the validity of the proposed low-cost design and programming technique, and a suitable programming of the programmable logic controller has been based on several subroutines, which run different walking motions and specifically to climb stairs.
Abstract: A second prototype of a biped walking robot, called EP-WAR2 (Electropneumatic WAlking Robot), has been designed and built at LARM (Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics) in Cassino. In addition to the performances of the previous prototype EP-WAR, EP-WAR2 is able to climb stairs because of a new actuation system. A suitable programming of the programmable logic controller has been based on several subroutines, which run different walking motions and specifically to climb stairs. Experimental tests prove the validity of the proposed low-cost design and programming technique.

TL;DR: A new stairway design for kinetic analysis of stair climbing was validated through a calibration and error analysis of the COP obtained from this system, and it was found that the error was a function of location on the stair or force plate.

TL;DR: Biomechanical asymmetries after TKA reduce the demand on the operated knee and increase reliance on the contralateral limb and ipsilateral hip, which may be related to poor functional performance.
