The elderly and persons with lower extremity impairments often have difficulty with rising from a wheel chair. In order to help rising from a wheelchair, a new transfer aid system was experimentally developed. To supply power for this system, a metal hydride (MH) air compressor was applied. Advantages of the MH air compressor include that size is small and shape is changed into freely. Using the MH air compressor brought miniaturization of a device. As a result, all component of this transfer aid system including a battery as a power supply, without except an operation switch, was contained in size approximately the same as a seat cushion for a wheelchair, it is 400 millimeters wide, depth 400 millimeters, 46 millimeters high. Littleness of system size and easiness of installation of this transfer aid allowed the use of this system to a most ready-made manual operation type wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs.
