| Abstract | This paper reports a results of analysis for the contribution of arm force in elderly people's standing-up action. Because of leg's muscle deterioration, elderly people use their arm force when standing up by putting their arms on the armrests. We analyze the elderly people's standing-up action using a cushion type standing up support tool with adjustable seat that has already developed and an armrest with height adjustment function that is newly developed. And we measured numerical data relating to the standing-up action (acceleration, arm force, time, forward bending angle, elbow angle, seat angle). As a result, we found that the numerical data was improved in the case when the armrests height is 0.10m. Furthermore, elderly peope felt making stand up easy. We could confirm that elderly people tended to stand up easily when the height of the armrests was 0.10m. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
