We have developed a standing style transfer system that enables a person with disabled lower limbs to have his daily life without special infrastructures. This system consists of three modules: a powered lower extremity orthosis, a pair of telescopic crutches, and a pair of mobile platforms. The previous telescopic crutch realizes continuous telescopic motions and the power assist. However, its weight is heavy and the time response of the telescopic motion is not prompt because of the use of the motor. In this paper we propose a novel type of telescopic crutch based on a Lofstrand crutch. This telescopic Lofstrand crutch has no actuators, and its length can be switched in two states easily according to the situations. We show the techniques of the standing up motion and the going straight motion.
