站立式转移系统ABLE旨在帮助下肢残疾的人以站立姿势行走，从椅子上站起和坐下，以及上下台阶。ABLE系统包括三个模块：一对伸缩式Lofstrand拐杖、一个动力下肢矫形器和一对移动的平台。本文主要研究了伸缩式Lofstrand拐杖。该拐杖没有执行器，长度在两个级别之间切换;在短长度状态下站立和坐下时提供帮助，而在长长度状态下行驶时保持站立姿势的身体稳定性。通过站立行走和站立运动的实验结果验证了设计的有效性。
A standing style transfer system, ABLE, is designed to assist a person with disabled lower limbs to travel in a standing position, to stand up from and sit down in a chair, and to go up and down steps. The ABLE system comprises three modules: a pair of telescopic Lofstrand crutches, a powered lower extremity orthosis, and a pair of mobile platforms. In this paper, the telescopic Lofstrand crutch is mainly discussed. This crutch has no actuator, and its length is switched between two levels; it assists the person when standing up and sitting down in the short length state, while it maintains the body stability in a standing position when traveling in the long length state. The experimental results related to the traveling in the standing position and standing up motion confirm the design's effectiveness.
