Abstract
In the context of aging society, the standing assistive seats become more and more necessary to the elderly. The research methodologies of standing assistive seat design for the elderly is explored based on biomechanics theory and verified through a design case in this paper. Firstly, through questionnaire survey and in-situ observation, the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly were analyzed, and their practical needs for assistive seats were mastered. Then, based on the biomechanics theory, the stress of the bone system of the elderly in the process of sit-to-stand was analyzed and a set of innovative design schemes of standing assistive seats for the elderly was built. A specific design case was proposed to verify the feasibility of the design strategy. Results show that the research method and design strategy based on the biomechanics can be effectively applied in the design of the standing assistive seats for the elderly. It can be concluded that in this way, we can meet the special physiological and psychological needs of the elderly, and create a convenient and comfortable living environment for them.
