Mobility Impaired AIDS Design Study

With the acceleration of China's aging, elderly people's daily has attracted the concern of the community. According to the 2012 population census results show that the old population accounted for more than 50% of the elderly population, and good physical quality of most of them, with an independent ability and the willingness to go out. Meanwhile, according to the national sample survey on disability, assessed the existing physically disabled persons in China's huge population base, and most of them mild physical disability. More than two groups collectively known as the mobility impaired, they were in wheelchairs, walkers, electric mobility scooters and other mobility aids with the help of an independent out of possibilities.Mobile auxiliary tool's main function is to improve mobility impaired body functions, increase its autonomy in life. It is understood that apart from the wheelchair,electric scooter, walkers, tricycles, strollers, and shift or ladders and other products also fall within the scope of mobility aids. Among them, the electric scooter and electric wheelchair, ultra-low power, low speed characteristics of flexible mobility impaired an important choice. With the improvement of living standards and economic capacity,such mobility aids with great market potential and value.This article mainly uses ergonomics, barrier-free design, user experience design principles for mobility aids, such as research. Through the design of wheelchairs,electric mobility scooters, combined with mobility impaired physical, mental and emotional appeal, thereby enhancing the mobility impaired in outdoor activities of self-help and independence. This paper is divided into three parts: the first part:questions on the subject of background, purpose and meaning of a simple introduction,proposed research and innovation of key issues to be resolved. Part II: analysis, analysis of mobility impaired physical, mental and emotional demands; to discuss the existing mobility AIDS through practical research and examples of analogy, come to the user experience and the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of mobility aids.Part III: problem solving, summarizing mobility impaired physical, mental and emotional appeals and related design elements and principles of design of mobility aids,concluded that this type of development directions of product; refer to the conclusions of the research and preliminary design practice, and summary and outlook.
