Outline of Final Research Achievements

Most of people who work as nurses have pain in the lower back. And one of main causes of pain in the lower back is the pose at assisting for bed-wheelchair transferring. In this paper, we propose a motion analysis method of assistance for bed-wheelchair transferring for learning support system using low price motion detector. For this purpose, we have tried to extracting human region, fitting model, and extracting features of back and leg angles. After these steps, we have investigated these features by comparing good assisting with bad assisting, and our system can give us good advices for better body motion of transferring assistance. Our experimental results show us the usefulness of our proposed method for the application of learning support system of bed-wheelchair transferring assistance motion.
