The problem of disability, as we know it, did not exist before the advent of modernity. 25 ancient Greece and Rome, soldiers disabled in war received a pension from the state. That arrangement, however, was an isolated quid pro quo. When the state needed the free citizen to defend the nation, he came to its aid. When the veteran became old and destitute, the state reciprocated. The principle that it is the obligation of the state to provide relief to workers disabled by their occupation—or to any disabled person—is a late nineteenth-century notion, developed in Germany and then adopted by other nations.

Where there would be an abrupt change in level across a corridor (or across an exit or exit discharge) of less than 12 inches, so that a stair would not be appropriate, a ramp is required to prevent persons from stumbling or tripping at the discontinuity. The ADA requirements would also mandate a ramp for at least a sufficient part of the width to accommodate disabled persons in wheel chairs or using crutches. Clearly, in such a case it would be desirable to have the ramp extend the full width of the passageway.
