Humanized needs of the elderly for electric wheelchairs

Security principles. As the age increases, the physiological functions of the elderly are gradually weakening. They will lack a sense of security for the product. When using the electric wheelchair, they will be afraid of falling and other situations, which will cause a certain psychological burden. Therefore, the principle of safety should be taken as the primary principle of wheelchair design.

The principle of comfort. Comfort is also crucial to the design of electric wheelchairs for the elderly. If the design is not comfortable, the muscles of the elderly will feel fatigued, and it will greatly affect the mood of the elderly when using the electric wheelchair.

The principle of functional rationality. As a special group, the elderly have different needs from ordinary people, so products should be designed individually and functionally for the elderly. The multi-function mentioned here does not mean that the more functions the better, it is too complicated, but the selective optimization design.

The principle of simplicity and ease of use. Due to the increase of age, the functions of the elderly are declining in all aspects. Therefore, the design of the product should not be cold and mechanical. Moreover, the intelligence and memory of the elderly are also declining. Under the reasonable arrangement of complete functions, the electric wheelchair should be easy to learn and use, in case the elderly feel that the operation is inconvenient and they will not be willing to use the electric wheelchair.

aesthetic principles. Everyone must love beauty. The elderly already have a certain aesthetic concept, and this aesthetic concept is constantly improving due to the progress and continuous development of society. While satisfying the rich material life , They are more pursuing the quality of life and the elements of beauty, so the aesthetic experience and requirements for electric wheelchairs have become a higher-level requirement.
