Implementation and Validation of Instrumented Stair Climb Test

The aim of this study is to design an instrumented test for the evaluation of the climb of stairs. In particular, the main purpose is to characterize and compare the performance of subjects, both pediatrics and adults, with different pathologies (cerebral palsy, amputee, Parkinson's disease, stroke and arthroplasty) in carrying out the instrumented test of climbing and descending stairs. This would provide potentially useful information to complement the clinical assessment, including investigating the existence of correlations between the instrumental data obtained and the clinical scales collected. The secondary objective is to evaluate, in a first phase of the study, the feasibility and reliability of the test, analyzing the validity of the indices obtained in terms of intra- and inter-operator reliability on healthy subjects.
