TL;DR: SVM results indicated significantly altered muscle activation patterns in the TKA group for biceps femoris, semitendinosus, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior, indicative of cocontraction strategies, were evident in TKA MMPs.
Abstract: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients commonly experience neuromuscular adaptations that may affect stair climbing competence. This study identified multimuscle pattern (MMP) changes in postoperat...

TL;DR: In this article, a hand truck for climbing stairs includes a frame having handles proximate a first end and at least two wheels proximate another end, and a stair climbing mechanism is engaged with the frame proximate the second end.
Abstract: A hand truck for climbing stairs includes a frame having handles proximate a first end and at least two wheels proximate a second end. A stair climbing mechanism is engaged with the frame proximate the second end. The stair climbing mechanism has a motor and an output shaft having two ends drivingly connected thereto. At least two rotatable endless loop drive elements, generally parallel with respect to each other, are drivingly connected to the output shaft, one drive element at each end thereof. Each drive element includes at least one abutment member engaged with and extending outwardly therefrom. The motor drives the drive element to cause rotation of the abutment members, which interact with the stairs to lift the hand truck up the stairs.
