The effect of dual task training on sit to stand postural control of elderly women with a history of falling
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of dual task training including balance sit-to-stand and cognitive exercises on postural control of sit to stand of elderly women with a history of falling. 15 elderly women were randomly divided into control (n=7) and experimental (n=8) groups. Participants implemented training protocol for four weeks in both experimental (balance ...
متن کاملDesign of a walking-aid and sit to stand transfer assisting device for elderly people
This paper describes the preliminary design of a light, high stability, robotic system for elderly assistance. The mechanisms used for such assisting devices must exhibit complex mechanical functions that may change during the use. The design was built up thinking about the constraints of a chosen pathology. Taking these constraints into account, the design of a robotic walker is presented whic...
متن کاملSit to Stand Transfer Assisting by an Intelligent Walking-Aid
The sit to transfer assisting for elderly patients using an intelligent walkingaid is presented. This assistive device provides physical support to aid elderly with physical impairment during both the walk and the sit-to-stand transfer. In this paper, we will focus on the sit-to-stand transfer function and more precisely on the trajectory generation of the assistive device handles using interpo...
متن کاملCharacterization of a least effort user-centered trajectory for sit-to-stand assistance
Sit-to-stand transfer is a prerequisite for locomotion and induces a lot of effort from elderly or disabled people. In the context of a project based on a locomotion and sit-to-stand assistance robotics device, we present a methodology to tune the trajectory of active handles so that the verticalisation effort of the user is minimised. The methodology is user-centered in the sense that the robo...
متن کاملImproving Transfer of Parkinson's Disease Patients – Sit-to-Stand Motion Assistance
In many areas of the world, population aging is steadily increasing. Japan became an aged society in 1995 and the numbers of Japanese citizens aged 65 years and above (elderly) continues to increase. In 2010, the percentage of elderly people in Japan reached 23.1%. In such a “super-aged” society, health maintenance, along with the prevention and treatment of diseases, are important long-term so...
