摘要

意外傷害位居國人十大死因的第六位，跌倒是老人意外傷害的第二名，卻常發生於浴室。可能與長者的四肢肌肉體積萎縮與質量變少，關節活動度受限，使得沐浴時無法清洗背部，又加上膝蓋與腳尖無法提起，容易因移位或彎腰姿勢不穩，引發浴室跌倒的風險。本創新產品是以「蓮蓬頭及可彎式水管」為主體，讓沐浴時可不需彎腰與轉位，就能清潔背部及腳趾間隙，並可定期更換紗巾及腳趾刷，達到安全、省力的淨膚效果，惟因時間與經費限制，無法產出實際操作產品，未來若能與廠商合作大量生產，必能提升沐浴品質與便利性，並能降低跌倒的風險。

Accidental damage ranks as the sixth cause of death, and falls by elderly is the second biggest cause of accidental damage. Usually, falls by elderly occur in bathrooms. Due to the aging process, elderly persons may experience decreased muscle mass and strength, as well as limited joint movement. This increases their risk of falling in the bathroom when they take a shower. This product is designed as a bended shower head, which can be beneficial to the elderly to clean their back and toes without changing their bodily positions. In this way, its use decreases the risk of falling for the elderly, and enhance s their ability to self-clean. Due to time and budget limitations, we could not make a sample for exhibition. In the future, we plan to produce the shower head on a large scale so as to reduce costs and help prevent falls by elderly falls in the bathroom.
