By mapping the everyday objects of use of elderly people or people with reduced mobility, we arrived at a group of objects that provide walking or stable standing. The functional, structural and aesthetic analysis of these objects led us to the conclusion that this group of objects should be improved, their functional expandability should be investigated or they should simply be presented in a more modern form, more aesthetically appropriate to the present day.
The aim of the project was to narrow down the otherwise wide range of utility tools, based on the importance of their role in everyday life, in order to identify those that could be easily defined by everyone and which could be developed.
The selected walking aids, which are almost the most widely used in everyday life, are the elbow crutches and the walking frame, which are fitted with special accessories and adapters. These innovative devices can be great help to the users due to the significant functional enhancements.
