Abstract:
Because of crowed population, urban people live in a relatively narrower living environment. They currently set the electric socket at the corner of building, which may causes some using trouble especially for elders and disabler. Hence, we combining RF wireless transporting system with electric encephalon wave suggest a remote household electrical appliance controller aiding handicapped and senior to control every household electricity. It not only achieves carbon reduction, but also promotes community well-being.

Abstract:
With the development of society, the services which the country supplied for the elderly and handicapped also continues to strengthen, and the oblique suspended elevator can solve the problem which the elder and handicapped walking up and down the stairs. This paper introduces the structure design project of an oblique suspended elevator platform, around the design and development of the whole platform, we make the structure design of the every part including the push device, and make the strength check of the key component.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of demand for large capacity storage and high-performance computing resource of intelligent robot navigation and demand-service matching in the field of assisting handicapped or elderly people, overcoming the limitations of carrying resources, the method of constructing robot service platform for assisting handicapped or elderly people (RSP-AHEP) was proposed based on cloud robotics technology. Firstly, the demand of assisting handicapped or elderly people and the corresponding robot service category was analyzed to assure relationship-matching subjects. Secondly, based on VMware and Hadoop cluster technology, the architecture of a three-layer robot service platform was designed, which were universal interface layer, resource service layer, and application layer. Complex computing tasks, such as the matching computing between robot service and demand of the handicapped or elderly people, and the robot path-planning service, were placed in the robot service platform with the advantages of storage and computing resources. Thirdly, the remote communication between the robot and the service platform was realized based on the ROS (Robot Operation System) technology; finally, the function experiments, which included the remote dispatch, path planning, and service response between the service platform and robot, were carried out in the simulation environment. The result verified the feasibility of the proposed method.

Abstract:
Voting by a proxy as a guarantee of exercising elderly and handicapped people active voting rights Voting by a proxy as one of the latest alternative of a Polish electoral law institution. In the article are discussed: the constitutional basis, an international law, a statutory basis, an international law basis, doctrinal disputes connected to the principle of universality and based on the voting secrecy and limitations of elderly or handicapped people for who voting by proxy is a solution. The present study includes propositions of changing the electoral code in the field of giving a power of attorney as a conditionality.

Abstract:
In a study of 357 long-stay hospital residents aged 40 years and over, 30% had significant psychiatric disorder, while a retrospective survey of 215 new admissions over a seven-year period to a psychiatric unit for the mentally handicapped revealed that 20% of patients were aged 40 years and over. Both similarities and differences were found in the overall pattern of disorders between the two groups and a non-handicapped population in a comparable age-range.

Abstract:
The standing-up support device with an elbow-support face we propose for elderly people and physically-handicapped persons, enables comfortable and stable posture changes based on physical and motion characteristics. Using electromyogram (EMG), posture holding moment (PHM), and subjective evaluation, we demonstrate its effectiveness.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTIn view of the growing numbers of physically and developmentally handicapped older persons in Canada, this study attempts to determine the effects of basic client characteristics on the delivery of services to these groups. Using data from the 1984 Disability Information System of Calgary, a series of models are estimated which focus on the characteristics of age, gender, geographical location, and level of physical and cognitive functioning as determinants of the receipt or non-receipt of residential, professional, support and day program services. The results indicate that there is a weak relationship between age, gender and level of cognitive functioning and the overall receipt of services. However, when each service is analyzed separately, only day programs are adequately explained. As was anticipated, it appears the needs of the elderly handicapped are not being met within the rehabilitation service system.
