Aging with Dignity
The Step Up — Climb stairs with confidence
A solution designed to promote independence, made by Quebec experts in mechanical engineering, design, and rehabilitation.
Because climbing a stair isn’t just about taking a step—it’s about maintaining control of your balance, your home, and your life.

Our approach
In the context of a rapidly aging population, enabling older adults to remain in their own homes appears to be one of the most essential solutions.
By focusing on factors that promote health, Skywalk Systems help older adults maintain their balance in their living environments, empowering them to remain active and engaged in the world.

Our clients
The risk of falling affects more than 300,000 seniors and 300,000 people undergoing rehabilitation in Quebec alone.
In North America, the figure stands at 63.4 million people.
Out of fear of falling, two-thirds of older adults reduce their activities, leading to a decline in physical fitness that seriously impairs their quality of life and their ability to remain in their homes.

The Step Up
A mobility aid for stairs that ensures safety, independence, and improved overall balance.
Similar to a stair walker, the Step Up provides upper-body support when going up and down stairs.

Our ultra-lightweight system follows natural movement, giving the user a sense of ease and fluidity.
In the event of a loss of balance, our patented locking mechanism ensures a smooth stop, preventing falls forward or backward.

Stair falls
A public health issue
Every year, 300,000 people aged 65 and older suffer falls in Quebec alone.
Falls are a precursor to loss of independence and have serious consequences: fractures, giving up activities, social isolation, depression, admission to a care facility, or even death.
Out of fear of falling, many older adults fall into a vicious cycle: by avoiding certain simple and beneficial daily activities, such as going up and down stairs, they lose physical fitness and, despite themselves, accelerate the decline of their abilities.
Significant costs
In the healthcare sector, the impact is significant: the costs of hospitalization and care following a fall are estimated at over $37,000. As the population ages, this trend is on the rise.
