高龄者多功能拐杖的设计研究

Study on the Design of Multifunctional Crutch for Elderly

我国人口老龄化的问题虽然十分严重,但相关高龄者辅助类产品仍然没有得到普及,其原因不仅在于产品本身没有很好的满足高龄者的使用需求,而且高龄者对这类产品的抵触情绪也成为辅助类产品在中国市场难以普及的主要原因。文章从社会老龄化现状出发,探寻高龄者的日常生活习惯,研究出高龄者对多功能助行拐杖的功能需求,同时分析研究市场同类产品,并得出相应产品的优缺点,以此总结出高龄者对多功能助行拐杖的需求要素和相应原则,旨在探索出一种能够降低甚至消除高龄者对辅具产品抵触心理的设计模式,基于这种设计模式可以衍生设计出更多易于高龄者使用的辅具类产品。

Although the problem of aging population in China is very serious, the related elderly products are still not popularized. The reason is not only that the product itself does not meet the needs of elderly people, but also that elderly people are resistant to such products.

This study starts from the status quo of aging society, explores the daily living habits of the elderly, and studies the functional needs of elderly people for multifunctional crutches. At the same time, it analyzes and researches similar products in the market, and concludes the advantages and disadvantages of the corresponding products. Summarize the demand factors and corresponding principles for senior walking sticks for multi-functional walking aids, aiming to explore a design pattern that can reduce or even eliminate the contradictions of seniors＇ products for assistive products.
