We conduct a hearing investigation of 6 families with aged and handicapped memhers who use home elevators in Tokyo. We also conduct a questionnaire investigation of 299 aged and handicapped people living in Koriyama City. The aged who have declining hips and legs set home elevators for their future. The handicapped set them to live an independent life. The aged and the handicapped want safe, easily handled and inexpensive home elevators.
