Stairs have been shown to be the most hazardous component of the everyday physical environment. The elderly have been identified as the segment of the population that is most vulnerable to accidents on stairs. Research reported herein attributes much of this heightened vulnerability to decrements in perceptual and motoric functioning associated with aging. Specific characteristics of stair design that have contributed to, or could minimize, this vulnerability are discussed.
楼梯已被证明是日常物理环境中最危险的组成部分。老年人被认为是最容易在楼梯上发生事故的人群。本文所报道的研究将这种更高的易损性归因于与衰老相关的感知和运动功能的衰退。文中讨论了导致这种易损性或可将其降至最低的楼梯设计的具体特征。
