Summary
Design and adaptation of workplace principles to the possibilities and needs of people with motor and sensory disabilities.
Project leader: Tomasz Tokarski Ph.D.
Project summary:
The aim of the project was to investigate the effect of motor and sensory disability on mobility coordination and efficiency of the upper limb based on the accuracy of navigation and systematization of minimum requirements for designing objects, rooms and adaptation of work for people with physical disabilities and sensory impairments. Within the framework of the project the accuracy of navigation was studied in three groups of disabled: locomotor disability (paraplegic), sight (unseeing), hearing (deaf) and in a group of people with no signs of disability. Results indicating accuracy of navigation showed that people with locomotor, vision, and hearing disabilities obtained lower precision navigation scores over the measuring range of predetermined force. In the developed guidance legal requirements relating to the objects, rooms, and workplaces were systematized, with regard to adaptation to needs of people with motor and sensory disabilities, adaptation needs of workplaces were identified and examples of technical aids and selected personal aids helping in task performance were presented.
