Abstract

In this contribution, an electrically driven walking frame for both passive and active mobility support is presented for the first time. Problems of the musculoskeletal system are an important issue for people dependent on their personal mobility in order to live independently for as long as possible. However, solutions on the market today only offer passive walking frames which may not give enough support for long distances or mobility scooters, which do not require any movement at all and thus lead to even worse mobility problems on the long run. The presented system gives both a passive support like a walking frame, but also the option of switching to an active support in case the user cannot walk any more. Both, system concept and an evaluation with potential users are presented.
