Abstract

EN The paper presents practical design achievements, which are the result of research in the field of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) for persons with disabilities. The implementation of design solutions for transportation and rehabilitation purposes has been shown on the example of two constructions: electrically powered transporter and quadriplegic training device. The aim of the research was to determine both the design phases of device body-forms and aesthetics proposed to the specific target group. All presented solutions have been developed within the project “The new product line to support mobility and accessibility ambient seniors and people with disabilities” at Poznan University of Technology.
