Designing And Researching Humanization Of Elderly Multi-function Electric Wheelchair

Nowadays, as society aging extent, provide the elderly and disabled person s is also become the focus of concern. Therefore. Wheelchair, as an important tool to the patient recovered and the lower limb disabled persons for everyday. It is not only the means of transport physically disabled persons. More importa ntly, it let them to carry out physical exercise and the help of wheelchairs to participate in social activities as possible. It can be said that the wheelchair is a necessity in their daily lives. This allows them to communicate with the su rrounding populations easier, contact social more, and return to the normal life. For the issues above, the need of the electric and multifunction wheelchair is increasing. Humanized design is a method that realizes the people body, heart good affinity between creation and users. Therefore, in view of the old age a nd health products humanized design has become an important aspect to promo te the development of old industry.The research is aimed at the electric wheelchair used by Chinese working class elder, use the method of humanized design, on the basis of the structure and function of the existing wheelchair for some consolidation and improvemen t of design, to make it more in line with the requirements of users on the bas is of the original.On the theory of ergonomics, we start the research to electri c wheelchair design through the investigation of the physical and mental needs to the elderly and the elderly use posture analysis of electric wheelchair. Pape r first made a overview of the system of humanization and make the investiga tion and research of the research status of electric wheelchair at home and abr oad, and then analyzes the posture and movement function of the elderly physi ological characteristics, studied the elderly cognitive psychological characteristics such as psychological and emotional psychological change, at the same time, t he psychological needs of old people is discussed by applying the method of s emantic difference and the relationship between the electric wheelchair modelin g design. As we age, changes in body size of the elderly, lower limb moveme nt ability, especially the lower limb activity ability, the elderly physical charact eristics change the basic size of electric wheelchair, material selection and func tion of limbs auxiliary design requirements are put forward. In color visual per ception, attention, memory, etc, the old people’s cognitive psychological obvious aging phenomenon, thus affect the interface design of the electric wheelchair. The elderly mood of the emotional and psychological interests is also changed significantly, with a sense of security, belonging, independent sense and aestheti c experience, such as psychological demands, the modeling of the old electric wheelchair design should comply with this psychological change.Comprehensive the above research, in view of the design of the appearanc e of the adjusted the wheelchair form, enhance the function of the diversity an variability on the structure, strengthened the design of security at the same ti me, strengthen the safety factor when use the wheelchair. The diversification of function allows users in the case of out of family, nursing staff in a wheelch air can accomplish actions as much as possible, the humanized design can let users enjoy the function of the original foundation and safer, more comfortable, more convenient.
