Preliminary evaluation of an automated robotic transfer assist device in the home setting.

CONCLUSION: The AgileLife Patient Transfer System is a promising new form of transfer technology that may improve the mobility and mobility-related health of individuals with disabilities and their caregivers in home settings. Implications for rehabilitation Robotic transfer assistance reduced physical demand and work among end users and caregivers. The robotic device had a positive impact on some quality of life outcomes after 6 weeks of use. Users were highly likely to recommend the robotic transfer device to others.
