Youth labor shortage in caregivers became a serious problem in our society especially at nursing homes for the elderly, facing the rapid decline in birthrate and the aging society in Japan. It brought more elderly caregivers than ever before. Equipments to reduce their burden are highly demanded. As a mobility aid we have been developing a power-assisted attendant-propelled wheelchair which can cope with going across a sloping surface. The operator would always feel as though he was propelling a much lighter wheelchair on a level ground. The first prototype of the sensing mechanism for propelling force and turning force left problems such as interference of the mechanism with the rider's back, 1ow linearity of the sensor outputs and the grip shape. This reports describes the second prototype of the force sensing mechanism.
