Development of Standing-up Motion Training Device Which Users Step into from the Side

Abstract

It is important task to construct high-quality nursing-care and rehabilitation environment for elderly people and people who suffered brain stroke in the aging society. In this research, we are developing nursing-care and rehabilitation robot system for the standing-up motion. Although several standing-up assist machines have been developed, all that systems are not able to support trainee ’s natural standing-up motion. Therefore, we introduce a standing-up support machine which can assist user ’s pelvis and knee dynamically. This system can help not only reducing burden of user ’s muscle but also natural standing-up motion like daily living. In this paper, we describe a new transfer-style device for standing-up motion training which users can step into from the side．
