Использование метода плоских манекенов в проведении графических экспериментов по определению эргономичности формы и размеров реабилитационного оборудования

Abstract

The article discusses one of the most effective means of rehabilitating the patients with impaired motor abilities using specially designed rehabilitation equipment. In most cases, within the framework of recreational activities, the patient’s direct contact with rehabilitation equipment is required. The functionality and effectiveness of such special equipment depends on taking into account human anthropometric data at the design stage. As a result, scheming rehabilitation equipment is a rather complicated, but relevant task. The paper presents graphic experiments that allow determining the shape and dimension ergonomics of the rehabilitation equipment for people having anthropometric data from the ninety-ninth to the first percentile. When conducting graphic experiments using flat dummies and rehabilitation equipment developed on the same scale, it becomes possible to single out the study object and to determine zones with different degrees of ergonomics. The method of flat dummies has shown itself to be a fairly fast and economical way to define the ergonomics of the rehabilitation equipment shape and dimensions. As part of the work done, the sequence of using the method of flat dummies is determined to identify the ergonomics of the rehabilitation equipment shape and dimensions.
