Slowness of movement (bradykinesia - pronounced 'bray-dee kin-eesya') is one of the classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Over time, patients develop a stooped posture and a slow, shuffling walk. This gait gradually becomes erratic and unsteady, and may lead to falls.
Re: Skirt Board On Existing Stairs. Or....just lay a 1 X 12 on edge running up the stairs, resting on the tips of the treads. Scribe down to the treads the right amount to make it line up with your 4-1/4 base. Use a framing square to mark for riser cuts. Then if the risers are angled back as they sometimes are in a carpeted situation, scribe the skirt board back after it has been scribed down. This will usually require that 2 boards be connected together to cover the entire length of the stairs.
A skirt board is. installed to the finished wall (sheet rock, paneling, etc.) once the open side of the stair has been. finished. This chapter will illustrate the principles of installing the skirts, treads and risers to the foundation. of your staircase. Installing Mitered Skirts.
