title: An inexpensive electronic counting system for step tests.
abstract: A simple electronic counter was designed to count step test cadence. Foot pads, a controller and a counter were used to record the number of times the subject placed both feet on the top step. The electronics insured accurate counting by preventing double counts on one ascent and requiring weight to be put on both feet on the top step.
