With age growth , aging began to affect daily life. In an aging society assistive device would be beneficial to the elderly quality of life. For the elderly going to the toilet and doing sit to stand is becomes the burden of everyday. Therefore, an effective auxiliary standing support device would be beneficial to the elderly quality of life. This study focused on the movement Analysis of the body doing sit to stand then to develop the assistive device to be able to simulate the montion of sit to stand and action supporting institutions.

The study using the characteristic of Slider-Crank and with the change between slider and crank to design a toilet assistive device. Finally , the toilet assistive device is be test.
