Carmeli, E., Levy, R., Barchard, S., Cahana, C. & Merrick, J. (2007). Assistive technology and walking aid use by intellectually disabled older people in a residential care center. International Journal on Disability and Human Development, 6(1), 71-74....
3D printing is helping to make assistive devices that meet the needs of disabled people, such as prosthetic limbs. And robotics coupled with Brain Computer Interface (BCI) has led to bionic hands, arms and legs that connect to nerves. The most innovative ones already transmit sensations, such ...
Methods: Cross-sectional investigation generating data on: type of assistive devices (e.g., wheel-chair, walker, cane, orthopedic shoes, splint, brace, hearing aid, artificial teeth), mode and reason for use were inspected. Results: The majority of participants (>70%) used orthopedic shoes, ...
This paper introduces a robotic walking and sit-to-stand support system, Smart Mobile Walker(SMW), and presents kinematic analysis of the system. For supporting person's sit-to-stand movement, the motion of SMW is modeled by the analysis of kinematics. The results of analysis are used for ...

along with software which helps people navigate their computers or use the Internet. Assistive technology can also include devices which help people communicate if they have difficulty speaking, and devices which are intended to facilitate communication with people who are developmentally disabled. With ...
We are a professional kitchen appliances, ALK smart home control system, Assistive devices for the disabled manufacturer and supplier in China,we can offer high-quality kitchen appliances, ALK smart home control system, Assistive devices for the disabled
bathroom safety devices,hearing aids, vision and reading aids, etc. are highly popular in elderly and disabled population. These devices are extremely helpful for them by making their day-to-day activities, such as walking and reading listening, much easier. There is a growing demand for efficie...
but also be able to provide better assistance for human. The application on the human lower-limb straight-walking power-assisting mechanism shows that the design and optimization based on MIP can find out the assistive mechanism which satisfies assistive feasibility and realizes better assistive effect...
Assistive technology is not necessarily confined to only helping people interact with computers and other type of informational devices. Technology like wheelchairs, walkers (and lately the Segway) have been helping people with walking difficulties move themselves around their local environment, even when...
