Sit-to-stand (STS) motion is one of the most common movements of a person during daily life. The motion, as a prerequisite for other movements, such as running and climbing, can be a very challenging task for the elderly or disabled people. Assistant tools, such as auxiliary walkers and...
Sit-to-stand (STS) transfer is a fundamental but challenging movement that plays a vital role in older adults' daily activities. The decline in muscular strength and coordination ability can result in difficulties performing STS and, therefore, the need for mobility assistance by humans or assisti...
Sit-to-Stand (STS) movement is one of the most important movements in the activity of daily life. There are several assistive devices to assist STS movement. However, there are a few research that assisted STS movement focused on antagonist muscle. Therefor the aim of this study is to assi...
Inclusion criteria for subjects included a comfortable total surface bearing suction seal socket as a part of an existing C-Leg prosthetic system; independence as a community ambulator without an assistive device other than a prosthesis; and no contralateral limb injuries or Results Demographic data ...
The Methods section presents the model-based control approach for assistive robots. The general control scheme, modelling of exoskeleton and environment and the feedforward for SEAs are presented. The Sit-to-stand Exoskeleton section explains the implementation of the model-based control methods on an...

U.S. Pat. No. 7,275,554 to Mullholand discloses an assistive walking device which supports the user's body with multiple body weight spring means. U.S. Pat. No. 6,733,018 to Razon discloses a stand-up walker with a pair of adjustable arms and a harness which lifts and supports ...
Sit-to-stand is a common activity in daily life. It is difficult for the elderly and patients with lower limb disorders to complete this motion due to limb pain, muscle weakness, partial loss of motor control function, and physical defects in joints. An STS assistive device is a piece of...
