Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted for the purpose of basic data collection for building evidence from the perspective of the caregiver for the use of the transfer lifts. Especially hanging posture of the moving lift, whether euthanasia whether for the caregiver, it was exploring the possibility of an index relaxation of muscle tone. In comparison lifts hanging posture and bed on the supine position, and measures the body surface pressure and the facial electromyogram, in the hanging position during the lift ride, it was found that the body surface pressure is evenly distributed. Further, as compared with the lift before use supine position, in the supine position after the lifting of the suspended posture, it was found that there is a tendency that body surface pressure is dispersed.
