Sit to Stand Transfer Assisting by an Intelligent Walking-Aid
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 interpolating cubic splines.

Design 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...

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 has also to be adapted to the morphology and/or pathology. Taking these constraints into account, the design of a robotic walker is presented which provid...
