摘要
台灣人口高齡化逐漸地產生有關身體機能衰退的問題。這些問題多半是銀髮族不能順利地使用一般人適用的工具或設備。本研究專注於評估銀髮族使用指甲剪的問題與需求。 藉由事先問卷調查與JACK軟體模擬，找出銀髮族剪指甲時所遭遇的困難。以人因工程設計原則和通用設計為基礎，利用市面上販售之指甲剪進行部分改造，利用CAD軟體繪製出精準角度並使用RP快速成型技術製造握把主體，並裝上指甲剪後搭配上腳踏墊使用。以24位老齡者為主針對市售指甲剪與新式指甲剪進行修剪實驗，收集其修剪總次數與總時間並於受測完畢受填寫事後問卷調查。 結果顯示新式指甲剪比市售指甲剪有更佳的施力效果，且在使用市售指甲剪與新式指甲剪後所得到的總時間和總次數沒有顯著性差異，左右手使情況用上也都沒有顯著性差異。表示新式指甲剪與市售產品的使用績效相當，而且有較好的抓握力與姿勢。

The increase of elder population in Taiwan has gradually brought the problems about degeneration of physical functions. These problems mostly are failing to successfully use the tools or equipments that are suitable for general people. This research focused on evaluating the problems and requirements with respect to nail cutter usage by elder people. This research try to find out the problem of elder people in cutting nails by survery and simulator software, JACK. Based on the ergonomic and universal design principals to reconstruct the nail clipper for sale, the handgrip precisely draws the angle of reconstruct by CAD, fabricates the handgrip by RP technology and incorporates with footrest. The experimental design respectively tests ready-made and new-style nail clippers for 24 elder people and survey collects the total number of cutting and usage time. They fill an postmortem questionnaire survey after experiment. According to results, they indicate that the new-style nail clipper was better than ready-made one in forcing and there were non-significance between these two nail clippers in total number of cutting and usage time.The performance of new-style nail clipper is the equal of ready-made product, and it has better snap-hold force.
