项目摘要

This research consists of seven chapters. The 1st chapter clarified what ergonomic characteristics should be given to general care-taking devices and evaluated the importance of the sit-to-stand transfer device as a factor in supporting independent life. The 2nd chapter explained the response mechanism of circulatory physiology when standing up. In particular, it described measuring methods of autonomic nervous activity and cerebral circulation, both of which are necessary for physiological measurement when standing up. The 3rd chapter explained the characteristics of response of circulatory physiology when standing up and the occurrence mechanism of orthostatic hypotension (cerebral anemia) caused by such response, and then described the experiments conducted on the aged. The 4th chapter dealt with the theorization from the standpoint of circulatory physiology that the higher central nervous system plays an important role for the circulatory adjustment at the time of standing up. The 5th chapter evaluated the functions of the sit-to-stand transfer device, the seat of which is elevated and leaned forward with a button switch to help users stand up. The 6th chapter described the particular biological conditions of the aged and diabetics with lowered autonomic nervous function, and their relations with orthostatic hypotension. It further made clear what characteristic functions should be given to care-taking devices used for the aged with diabetes after conducting standing-up experiments on the aged with diabetes. The 7th chapter summarized the thesis by describing the ergonomic characteristics that are required in the design of care-taking devices, including the necessity of user-minded design, and the establishment of a design system that can deal with the user's particular condition.

这项研究由七个章节组成。第一章阐明了应赋予一般护理设备的符合人体工程学特征，并评估了坐姿转移装置作为支持独立生活的因素的重要性。第二章解释了站立时循环生理学的反应机制。特别是，它描述了自主神经活动和脑循环的测量方法，这两者都是站立时生理测量所必需的。第三章解释了站立时循环生理的反应的特征，以及这种反应引起的体位性低血压（脑性贫血）的发生机制，然后描述了对老年人进行的实验。第四章从循环生理学的角度介绍了理论化，即较高的中枢神经系统在站立时对循环调整起着重要作用。第五章评估了坐姿转移设备的功能，其座椅被抬高并通过按钮开关向前倾斜，以帮助用户站立。第六章描述了具有降低自主神经功能的老年和糖尿病患者的特定生物条件，以及它们与体位性低血压的关系。它进一步清楚地表明，在对糖尿病老年人进行站立实验后，应将用于老年人使用的护理设备具有哪些特征功能。第七章通过描述了护理设备设计中所需的人体工程学特征，包括具有用户意识的设计的必要性以及建立可以处理用户特定条件的设计系统，从而概述了论文。
