Abstract

Mounting-operation-free vertical (pole)-type grab bar is fixed between floor and ceiling and is currently being sold in Japan. This type of assistive device is essential to help persons with disabilities or who are aging to rise from a chair or toilet. In this research study, we measured the load applied to the grab bar by rising elderly participants to develop standards for vertical grab bars.
