There are many flaws in cities’ infrastructure. Using a simple search on the internet, it can be claimed that standard crutches have an array of design faults and ergonomic problems, and users seek to fix the problems with non-industrial solutions and home treatments. For this reason, various accessories for crutches are being produced, and even designers have proposed new types of crutches as replacements. However, the majority of them still didn’t pass the human-centered research procedure.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125759708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have worn heavy clothing that reduces body’s natural movability. In these circumstances, our objectives are to explore the effect of three layers light-weight clothing system: on kinetic/kinematic changes during different maneuverability, six gait phases, and on different body joints. We assessed four different exerted forces, six gait phases, and joint angles of five body movements amongst 63 trials of Indian soldiers by standardized protocol of Ergomaster 4.6 software. No significant changes were observed except in sitting position and shearing force of gait pattern. Hence, it allows for natural biomechanics and gait pattern.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126169479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the development of a glyph-based polar chart (GPC), designed to support a more comprehensive interpretation of the results of ML models by allowing these comparisons. The results from our user experience evaluation indicated that the proposed GPC supported data scientists in identifying the most relevant model variables, comparing different explanation methods, and performing logic reviews.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126415771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maikala","doi":"10.1177/10648046231155618","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10648046231155618","url":null,"abstract":"Dear Readers, What do a horse track, a place of worship, and a virtual reality environment have in common? All of these environments involve human beings and thus require diverse user experience designs based on user-centered design principles and thinking. Moreover, diversity gives rise to new design challenges and opportunities. This issue of Ergonomics in Design covers three very different studies, all relevant to user experience design, but each with a different, new, and expanded “diverse user” perspective brought into the design process to improve the overall system. In the first paper, Gestri discusses the design process for an Australian jockey vest that extends the concept of user experience and user-centered design to include a co-dependent user. Although the primary user (e.g., a jockey) remains at the center of the product innovation, the author emphasizes the importance of considering other users throughout the design process. In Australia, health professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, and ambulance officers) attend race meetings to monitor the jockeys’ health and safety. Since the medical staff must be able to maneuver the vests for proper treatment (in case of an injury), the author considers them co-dependent users. Gestri contends that the current safety equipment designs (e.g., safety vests, goggles, and helmets) restrict access to the injured body regions (e.g., chest, face, and head), thus diminishing the medical team’s ability to provide appropriate care. Therefore, she proposes a new vest design framework incorporating feedback from jockeys and medical staff. Overall, I am impressed with the dependency-based collaborative design framework suggested by Gestri, and I am optimistic that this design process will be useful beyond developing new safety vests. The second manuscript further demonstrates that ergonomics is all about designing for diverse users. As part of their study, Nazeer et al. researched the design and accessibility limitations of existing ablution facilities in mosques in Arar, Saudi Arabia. Using the information gained in their research, they proposed new design guidelines. For example, to accommodate various users (e.g., elderly and disabled), the authors proposed two ablution platforms, a single-step and two-step design (depending on available space). The new designs were then implemented in four mosques in Arar. The authors then used a structured questionnaire (developed in Arabic, English, and Urdu) to survey daily mosque visitors, thus getting feedback from users of various ethnicities. Finally, the new design guidelines and the overwhelmingly positive outcome resulting from their survey findings were submitted to the Department of Mosques in Arar, which agreed to implement them when constructing new mosques. The third paper presented in this issue discusses the role of diverse user experiences in designing Virtual Reality systems. For example, the automotive, healthcare, architecture, and construction ind","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"121 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129447093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
