The objective of this project is to design and develop a safe, adjustable Sit-to-Stand Trainer (STS-T) that helps patients regain functional independence. Unlike standard lifts, our device actively engages the full kinetic chain of muscles needed to transition from sitting to standing. The device features a portable design that is engineered for use in clinical settings like physical therapy centers. By providing controlled assistance and integrated safety functions, the STS-T offers a durable solution for those recovering from surgery or managing balance and strength deficit
