摘要

跌倒是長者常見意外傷害的主因，每年約30-40%的65歲以上長者發生跌倒，因而許多長者使用拐杖來輔助行走，但因全球氣候轉變，梅雨季節冗長，市面的拐杖傘僅能單一使用拐杖或雨傘，有無法同時使用拐杖與雨傘、重心不穩等缺點。本小組透過測量相關產品及問卷調查後，以靜脈輸液點滴架為基礎，設計「多功能三合一拐杖傘」，讓長者晴、雨天外出時，可單手雙用柺杖及雨傘，增進長者外出活動的便利和安全性，進而增加外出的意願與時間。期許未來產品經過人體測試與廠商合作，量產為價格普及的產品，讓產品可增進肌力下降、關節僵硬的長者之活動安全。

Falls are one of the major accident events among the elderly. There are approximately 30~40% of the elderly, aged over 65, who may experience falls every year. Therefore, many of them acquire canes or walking assistance devices. Global climate change has prolonged the length of the rainy season, but traditional umbrellas can be used only as either a cane or an umbrella. Hence, as presently designed its disadvantage is being unable to function as both a cane and an umbrella. In this study, the application requirements were observed and a survey was conducted to understand the wind resistance factors to elucidate a stable center of gravity. The theoretical foundation of the model of an intravenous injection was applied to invent this 3-in-1 multifunctional umbrella cane. The elderly can go out with this 3-in-1 cane, with no concern about changes in weather, so they may be more willing to go out and benefit from walking. In the future, we hope this 3-in-1 cane will be mass produced, so the price of the product will be more acceptable to the public. Using this product can benefit the elderly, so those elderly with decreased muscle power and rigidity of joints can nevertheless still go out safely.
