In addition to leg work, training stairs are terrific for stroke patients as well as those with balance issues. Why balance? Because training stairs require balancing on and activating one leg for a moment in time before the other leg moves to the next step.

Climbing stairs forces the body to work against gravity, utilizing muscles that often get neglected with other forms of exercise. Step climbing exercises have been shown to improve leg strength and step length in stroke patients. The top platform measures 31" x 31", ensuring plenty of space to safely turn around, rest or do additional exercises like squats.
