Research Abstract |
A Sit-to-Stand Assistance System that can provide functional assistance to stand up was developed. Two 650mm stroke AC servo motor driven linear actuators were squarely combined. The handrail was installed at the intersection of these actuators. When the user stands up from the chair, the handrail leads the user's motion. A personal computer (PC) is used to control the handrail motion. And the force plates are put under the feet. Parkinson's disease sufferers (PD) subjects were participated in this experiment. Subjects were not able to stand up with a fixed handrail. But they were able to stand up using this system without help.
