I can see one mistake. It should be: si usano le gambe. You have to use the third person plural of the verb because gambe is plural. But I can't say whether it sounds natural since I am not a native speaker! Better for an Italian to chime in.

Per salire le scale si usano le gambe <-- correct version
But it doesn't sound natural; it's better to say: "Per salire le scale si va a piedi".
P.S sorry for my poor English...

Benvenuto/a sul forum Nadir!
Come giustamente dice Nadir, la versione più naturale è
"Per salire le scale si va a piedi".
Grammaticalmente sono corrette (ma un po' goffe) sia:
"Per salire le scale si usano le gambe"
che
"Si salgono le scale usando le gambe".
