In this study, we focus on the standing-up motion assist for elderly people, and we are developing a standing-up motion support system, because the support of stand-up motion is the most physically burdened task for caregivers. The system is designed to be used easily and can carry out minimum necessary support for elderly people by moving the handle. Support system consists of two electric sliders and a handle with 6-axis force torque sensor. In this paper, we aim to get a suitable position of the handle at user's seating and standing-up conditions. We measured the position of the handle, shape of user's body, and evaluated the relationship between them. Then, we found that the suitable position of the handle is determined based on the "arm's length" when sitting, and the "stature" when standing-up.
