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.
Step 1 â Choose Stair Tread and Risers. In installing your stair treads you'll need to decide if you'll want pre-built wood stair tread and will match the stain you use on it to match the stain color of your wood floor. Your other choice will be to use wood flooring for your tread.tep 3 â Replace Stair Nosing. You'll want your stair nosing to look new, so you'll need to cut off the old nosing and replace them. First, measure the undersides of your stair tread in two or three places to determine how deep your noising will need to be.
