walk on ramp

[Stephen W. Hill]

We are designing a functional assessment of elderly mobility
including walking up a ramp.
Does any one know the typical ramp angle used outside buildings,
or if different angles have already been tested?

The student has already done a lit search, but has not found the answer to
this question.

Thanks in advance for any info,
Steve Hill
