Rezultat naloge je koncept orodja, ki je namenjen odstranjevanju las in trde umazanije navite okoli osi manjšega kolesa ročnega invalidskega vozička. V diplomski nalogi sem preko poglobljenih pogovorov in opazovanj različnih deležnikov procesa čiščenja invalidskega vozička raziskala širše področje in sestavila seznam vseh s higieno povezanih problemov, ki se pojavijo pri uporabi vozička. Lastno razumevanje sem poglobila z uporabo metode storitveni safari. V sodelovanju z uporabniki vozičkov sem probleme, ki so za uporabnike neizogibni, razvrstila po pomembnosti ter po podrobnejši analizi umazanih koles in umazanih rok za nadaljnji fokus izbrala problem navijanja las okoli osi manjših koles. Pozitivne prakse in zglede rešitev sem iskala tudi na sorodnih področjih. Razvoj koncepta sem začela s praktičnim preizkušanjem v različne točke vstopa usmerjenih idej, načrtovanje orodja pa je bilo podprto s sprotnim preizkušanjem posameznih funkcij. Pred začetkom načrtovanja sem sestavila seznam izhodiščnih zahtev, v primerjavi s katerimi sem v zaključku rešitev ovrednotila ter podala smernice za nadaljnji razvoj rešitve. To zajema predvsem testiranje z uporabniki, razvoj dodatkov in preverjanje materiala.

Abstract

The result of the thesis is a concept of a tool designed to remove hair and dirt wrapped around the axis of the smaller wheel of a manual wheelchair. In my Bachelor thesis, I explored the broader area of wheelchairs and through in-depth discussions and observations of various participants partaking in the cleaning process of a wheelchair, compiled a list of all hygiene-related problems that arise in its use. My understanding of the topic was deepened by the method of service safari. Key inevitable problems have been ranked by importance through cooperation with wheelchair users. Following a detailed analysis of the problems of dirty wheels and hands I focused on the problem of hair winding around the axis of the small wheel. Search for positive practices and inspiration was conducted in numerous related fields. The development of the concept started with practical testing of ideas targeted at various points of entry. The design of the tool was supported by continuous testing of individual functions. In conclusion, I have evaluated the solution in comparison with the list of requirements made as a starting point of designing the tool. Guidelines for further development of the solution have also been developed; they mainly include user and material testing as well as development of accessories.
