Brief
Eurostat statistics suggest that almost one third of older European people had severe di culties
in walking suggesting that people aged 60 years and older with physical functional limitations
have more di culty in preforming tasks which are enabled through walking and/or standing,
through the creation of a walking or standing aid to assistance in the performance of these tasks
in an e ective and accessible way through physiology-based research and user centred design.
