Abstract

Objective: The Parkinson’s disease has gradually increased in the elderly population in China, and the research of rehabilitation assistive devices for patients with Parkinson’s has become more and more important. This study analyzes the existing Parkinson’s rehabilitation assistive devices in the market, and proposes an optimization strategy for the design of rehabilitation assistive devices for Parkinson’s patients according to the actual needs of patients. Methods: The existing research results of Parkinson’s rehabilitation assistive devices were sorted out by inductive method, and the tendency of patients’ needs between each level of rehabilitation products of assistive devices was extracted from functional level, service level and emotional level based on hierarchical analysis. Conclusion: At this stage, domestic research on the design of medical assistive devices for Parkinson’s disease remains relatively scarce. The functions of the products are mostly limited to self-care or mobility assistance under the action of external forces; these products have problems such as insufficient targeting of functional positioning, lack of systemic and sustainability in the use process, and lack of emotionality. The optimized solutions and design strategies of inclusiveness and autonomy, systemic and sustainability, and emotional design are proposed to provide reference for future product design and application of training assistive devices for Parkinson’s patients.
