Resumo: | Population aging is a social phenomenon characterized by an increase in the proportion of elderly people in relation to the total population. For the World Health Organization, an elderly person is an individual between 61 and 75 years of age. Several aspects at the psychomotor level decrease with age increasing, with characteristics of the body that will change over time. Thus, the focus of this study was established on elderly’s clothing with limitations resulting from degenerative joints pathologies. The aim of this study is to develop hypotheses of ergonomic clothing for the elderly population considering their physical and aesthetic needs. The methodology used was direct observation that allowed to obtain a holistic and natural perspective of the dressing / undressing routine. In a second phase, a prototype was developed to validate and deepen some formal requirements. With the analysis of the results obtained, it is concluded that the prototype fulfilled the defined objectives, using wool as a sustainable and biodegradable material, as well as allowing greater ease in the wearability and accessibility of people with fine motor skills difficulties. |

Para a Organização Mundial de Saúde um idoso é o indivíduo entre 61 e 75 anos de idade. Diversos aspetos ao nível psicomotor diminuem com o acréscimo da idade, havendo carac- terísticas do corpo que se vão modificar ao longo do tempo. Desta forma estabeleceu-se o foco deste estudo no vestuário para idosos com limitações decorrentes de patologias degenerativas das articulações. O objetivo deste estudo é desenvolver hipóteses de vestuário ergonómico para a população idosa considerando as necessidades físicas e estéticas desta. A metodologia utilizada foi a observação direta que permitiu obter uma perspetiva holística e natural da rotina de vestir/ despir. Numa segunda fase desenvolveu-se um protótipo para validar e aprofundar alguns requisitos formais. Com análise dos resultados obtidos conclui-se que o protótipo cumpriu os objetivos definidos, utilizando a lã como material sustentável e biodegradável assim como permitiu uma maior facilidade na vestibilidade e acessibilidade de pessoas com dificuldades ao nível da motricidade fina.UA Editora2021-06-30T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/etd.v0i5.25309oai:proa.ua.pt:article/25309Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Design; No 5 (2021): Revista dos encontros internacionais de estudos luso-brasileiros em Design e Ergonomia; 64-73Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Design; Núm. 5 (2021): Revista dos encontros internacionais de estudos luso-brasileiros em Design e Ergonomia; 64-73Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Design; n.º 5 (2021): Revista dos encontros internacionais de estudos luso-brasileiros em Design e Ergonomia; 64-732183-928Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/ergotripdesign/article/view/25309https://doi.org/10.34624/etd.v0i5.25309https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/ergotripdesign/article/view/25309/18087Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Designhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRêgo, MarianaMatos, DemétrioRiobom, Diogo Frias2022-09-22T10:11:30Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/25309Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:56:49.368165Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
