Keywords:T-shaped Cane, Standing Motion

In this study I proposed a T-shaped Cane to support on standing motion, based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the T-shaped Cane in the standing up motion. The condition of basic molding of the T-shaped Cane was made from the analytical result of the length, the poke position and the number of canes. These basic moldings are expected to be utilized as templates in the initial design of the T-shaped Cane.
The T-shaped Cane was made with aluminum, and the elderly person experienced it. As a result of the observing the standing motion by the ethnography method, it is thought that the basic molding of this T-shaped Cane is useful for the standing motion of the elderly.
