Abstract
As an aged society, the development of assistive devices is urgently necessary. In this paper we present newly developed assistive devices in our department. As self-support devices, non-constrain monitoring in the home has been developed for the self-support device in the elderly. Portable accelerometer was developed for monitoring the physical activity and fall. Furthermore power-assist walker was evaluated for rehabilitation training. In the severe dementia patients doll and toy therapies are applied to heal the patient. Finally, we are planning to establish the division for evaluation of assistive devices for practical use.
