As age-related changes progress, individuals with long-term mobility disabilities experience more challenges in engaging with everyday activities. This archival analysis identified common activity challenges older adults with long-term mobility disabilities report and the type of strategies they employed to respond to these challenges, using the interview data (n=60) from the ACCESS Study. We discovered that activity challenges come from intrinsic factors (i.e., mobility limitations, strength, health conditions) as well as extrinsic factors (transferring and physical access). With these challenges in mind, we constructed home environment design strategies that could meet the needs of people aging with mobility disabilities.
随着与年龄相关的变化不断发展,长期行动不便的个体在参与日常活动时会面临更多挑战。这项档案分析利用ACCESS研究中的访谈数据(n = 60),确定了长期行动不便的老年人报告的常见活动挑战以及他们应对这些挑战所采用的策略类型。我们发现,活动挑战来自内在因素(即行动能力受限、力量、健康状况)以及外在因素(转移和身体可达性)。考虑到这些挑战,我们构建了能够满足行动不便的老年人需求的家庭环境设计策略。
