Disability can be a great impediment to daily living in later life and is often the result of illness or trauma. Modern thoughts on treatment are orientated towards the use of robotics; however, these are often designed without consultation with the user. This paper used a 5-point questionnaire to ask former therapy patients what they felt needed further improvements from potential robotics and what features of such a system were the most important. Significant emphasis was placed on helping them to grasp ( = 4.63) as well as having a functional use. They also desired a system with clearly distinguished ( = 4.22) and easy to operate controls ( = 4.44) whilst allowing them some freedom to move around independently ( = 4.44). This provided the rationale for a prototype dual-layered vacuum glove that was sampled by healthcare staff to provide feedback that forms the basis for future improvements.
残疾可能会极大地妨碍老年人的日常生活,通常是疾病或创伤的结果。现代治疗思想倾向于使用机器人;然而,这些机器人往往是在没有与用户协商的情况下设计的。本文使用五点问卷询问了前治疗患者,他们认为机器人还需要哪些进一步的改进,以及他们认为这样的系统的哪些功能最重要。他们非常强调帮助他们抓握(=4.63)以及实现功能使用。他们还希望系统具有清晰区分(=4.22)和易于操作的控件(=4.44),同时允许他们有一定的自由独立移动(=4.44)。这为双层真空手套原型提供了依据,医疗保健人员对其进行了采样,提供了反馈,为未来的改进奠定了基础。
