In recent years, the proportion of elderly people in the population is one of the social problems. Similarly, the workload of care workers is increasing. Actually, the onset of symptoms is remarkable. Especially back pain is a serious problem for care workers. Also, low back pain is mainly caused by transfer assistance and posture change of the elder person. Posture change is a work required for improvement of bedsore caused by pressure and shear force. In other words, make posture change unnecessary by preventing bedsore automatically. Therefore, we focused on measuring system of pressure and shear force. We proposed the mechanism capable of force feedback and measuring shear force. These results are showed that the pressure can be measured. Additionally, these results are suggested that utility.
