"Thank you for the opportunity to evaluate the Dynamic Stair Trainer (DST). The St. John’s Rehab physical therapists found that they started practicing stair training at an earlier stage of the rehabilitation process. The height adjustment of the stairs made it easier to individualize the patient’s treatment in order to accommodate the patient’s needs. The adjustability was also a time saver. It eliminated the need to take patients to a stairwell.
Furthermore, it allowed the therapists to gradually increase the difficulty of the stairs by increasing the height of the step. The therapists found that the hand controls were very easy to use and the handrails were easy to adjust. The patients were less fearful and had less frustration and pain that is normally associated with nonadjustable stairs.
The patients reported a greater sense of success, security, and self-confidence. The physical therapists enjoyed using the DST and would like one for the rehabilitation department. "
