Abstract

A sit-to-stand assistance system with a moving handrail was developed, and experiments were conducted with individuals with Parkinson's disease. This is an outline of the sit-to-stand assistance system and the experiment. The system permits the user to stand up when, ordinarily, he would not be able to do so. The experiment was carried out with individuals who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and could or could not stand up without aid. Comparisons were made using three handrail trajectories.
