Resumo: Ergonomics aims to adapt products, services and strategies to make them compatible with the needs, abilities and limitations of people. Assistive technologies (AT) are devices, services, strategies and practices that reduce problems caused by functional limitations of individuals. They can help elderly to accomplish activities of daily living like dressing. Considering the aging of world population, this paper presents a research on interaction between the elderly and an assistive dressing aid to verify their perceptions about the use of the AT device. Five participants used the AT device to put a pair of socks, and evaluated this experience. We found that the main difficulty for elderly in using the device was understanding the manual. Participants could not dress the pair of socks completely. Completing the tests, we evaluated the instruments and highlighted the participant’s opinions regarding advantages and disadvantages of the product.

As Tecnologias Assistivas (TA) são dispositivos, serviços, estratégias ou práticas que minimizam problemas decorrentes de limitações funcionais dos indivíduos. Nesse sentido, podem auxiliar os idosos nas Atividades de Vida Diária (AVD), tais como vestir. Considerando o envelhecimento populacional uma realidade mundial, este trabalho apresenta um levantamento sobre a interação de idosos com uma TA para vestir a fim de verificar sua percepção acerca do uso. O teste foi realizado por cinco idosos e consistiu em responder a um questionário sobre demandas, necessidades e problemas com o vestuário, vestir um par de meias utilizando a Adaptação para colocar meia e, por fim, preencher o questionário de avaliação do uso do dispositivo. Observou-se que uma das principais dificuldades no uso do produto é a utilização do folheto de instruções. Além disso, nenhum dos participantes conseguiu vestir completamente o par de meias. Concluídos os testes, foi feita a avaliação dos instrumentos utilizados e destacadas as opiniões dos participantes em relação às vantagens e desvantagens do produto.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2017-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/modapalavra/article/view/768210.5965/1982615x10192017150ModaPalavra e-periódico; Vol. 10 No. 19 (2017): Dossiê P&D Moda Palavra; 150-178ModaPalavra e-periódico; Vol. 10 Núm. 19 (2017): Dossiê P&D Moda Palavra; 150-178 Modapalavra e-periódico; v. 10 n. 19 (2017): Dossiê P&D Moda Palavra; 150-1781982-615X10.5965/1982615x10192017reponame:ModaPalavra e-periódicoinstname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/modapalavra/article/view/7682/6323Copyright (c) 2016 Crislaine Gruber, Eugenio Andrés Díaz Merino, Giselle Schmidt Alves Díaz Merino, Lizandra Garcia Lupi Vergarahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGruber, CrislaineMerino, Eugenio Andrés DíazMerino, Giselle Schmidt Alves DíazVergara, Lizandra Garcia Lupi2023-03-15T14:26:20Zoai::article/7682Revistahttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/modapalavraPUBhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/modapalavra/oai||modapalavra@gmail.com1982-615X1982-615Xopendoar:2023-03-15T14:26:20ModaPalavra e-periódico - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
