Abstract

It is one of the significant problems for hospital patients to transfer from the bed to a wheelchair. This study focused on the transfer motion from the bed and developed assist system of transfer motion for the bed user, without lifting motion performed by the caregivers. Thin skin career sheet was inserted below the patient sitting on the bed side, and it was hanged on the cantilever chair equipped on the omnidirectional wheelchair. We propose a method to decrease the friction caused in the inserting the career sheet by changing the patients posture.
