Summary
This study looks at whether the pattern of contrast on stair edges helps older adults, including those with low vision, step more safely. Participants walk on lab stairs with different contrast markings while their foot clearance is measured. The goal is to understand how contrast frequency affects fall risk and gather opinions on what feels safest.
