Authors: Fernie, Geoff | Maki, Brian
Abstract: The Centre for Studies in Aging (CSiA) applies technology to problems commonly encountered by elderly people. Our research and development projects in assistive devices focus on the prevention of falls and maximization of mobility. Two “moving rooms” are used to study postural control and to conduct ergonomic experiments to explore environmental factors such as handrails. We develop assistive devices with extensive involvement of consumers and industry. Products that have been transferred to the commercial sector include grab bars, toilet equipment, an accessible bathtub, walking aids, wheelchairs, and a portable lifting system.
