The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the novel lateral transfer assist robot facilitates easier transfers compared with a wheelchair in post-stroke hemiparesis patients. This cross-sectional study enrolled 20 post-stroke hemiparesis patients, and the task difficulty of transfers was compared between a wheelchair and lateral transfer assist robot. All participants were asked to transfer from either wheelchair or lateral transfer assist robot to a platform table and back. The primary outcome was the transfer score of the Functional Independence Measure. The secondary outcome was the time required for transfer. The transfer score of the Functional Independence Measure was significantly higher with lateral transfer assist robot than with wheelchair ( p  &lt; .001). The transfer times from these devices to a platform table and back showed no significant differences (to device from platform table: 7.8 s, lateral transfer assist robot vs 7.6 s, wheelchair,  p  &gt; .05: device to platform table: 7.1 s, lateral transfer assist robot vs 8.0 s, wheelchair,  p  &gt; .05). Transfer with a lateral transfer assist robot is easier than with wheelchair and facilitates independence in post-stroke hemiparesis patients.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTransfer skill influences the functional independence and quality of life of a wheelchair userA novel structural mobility device—the lateral transfer assist robot (LTAR)—can facilitate transfersThe LTAR could improve the degree of independence for transfers than the wheelchair, without any time loss, in post-stroke hemiparesis patientsThe LTAR could potentially reduce the risk for falls in various medical and care facilities Transfer skill influences the functional independence and quality of life of a wheelchair user A novel structural mobility device—the lateral transfer assist robot (LTAR)—can facilitate transfers The LTAR could improve the degree of independence for transfers than the wheelchair, without any time loss, in post-stroke hemiparesis patients The LTAR could potentially reduce the risk for falls in various medical and care facilities
