Abstract
In this study, we developed a prototype handrail which can provide computer controlled assistance. The handrail can assist in the moving ability of a subject when standing up. We analyzed the movements of the elderly when standing up prior to the handrail development. The analysis showed that all the subjects exhibited the same standing-up movement. Therefore, we not decided that a supplementary mechanical function which matched the pattern of each individual's movements should be incorporated into the handrail. We then designed the power assistance type handrail on the assumption that the movement of the handrail could selected freely. Two 680mm actuators were attached perpendicularly to each other on a frame, and the handrail was installed at the intersection of these actuators, and the movement of the handrail was controlled by a computer. The handrail developed this time can move freely on a 60cm by 680mm plane. It was assumed in the design that one sample operational pattern of standing up, analyzed beforehand, was incorporated into this experimental model at this time.
