Resumo(s)
Atualmente, o transporte de cargas em mochilas escolares tem sido responsável
por lesões músculo-esqueléticas na coluna vertebral dos jovens, que
comprometem o seu desenvolvimento saudável. As soluções existentes partem
de um saco, onde os objetos transportados são empilhados no fundo, provocando
um afastamento das cargas transportadas da coluna vertebral, e consequentes
desequilíbrios biomecânicos, que podem desencadear lesões músculo-
esqueléticas. Para além deste problema, as características das mochilas
atuais provocam problemas de interação com as mesmas, dos pontos de vista
da usabilidade (facilidade para colocar e retirar materiais) e de experiência de
utilização (reações emocionais dos jovens quando as usam). Neste contexto,
o Ergodesign, através do Design Centrado no Humano, propõe um contributo
importante no desenvolvimento de novas soluções de design de mochilas
escolares para transporte de cargas. O projeto desenvolveu-se em 4 fases:
1ª) Compreensão do contexto de uso, através: do Estado da Arte; Desenvolvimento
de um benchmarking para avaliar as soluções existentes; Simulação de
propostas de soluções para o problema do afastamento das cargas da coluna
vertebral, transportadas em mochilas; 2ª) Definição dos requisitos do utilizador,
que resultam dos estudos desenvolvidos na fase anterior; 3ª) Produção
de soluções, através da ideação e prototipagem de complexidade crescente
(gráfico a protótipos físicos); 4ª) Avaliação iterativa das soluções em função dos
requisitos do utilizador. Os resultados alcançados caracterizam-se uma mochila
constituída por uma estrutura fixa ao tronco e por várias bolsas destacáveis
sobrepostas na vertical. Esta solução reduz a profundidade da mochila e como
consequência, os momentos de força que causam lesões na coluna vertebral.
Para além deste aspeto, a solução de bolsas destacáveis, com diferentes
cores, texturas e imagens, permite a personalização da mochila todos os dias
e o acesso rápido ao material escolar. Em conclusão, neste projeto, provamos
que o Ergodesign, através do Design Centrado no Humano, foi um meio eficaz
para o desenvolvimento de uma mochila para transporte de material escolar.
Currently, carrying loads in school backpacks has been responsible for musculoskeletal injuries in the spine of young people, which compromise their healthy development. Existing solutions start from a bag, where the transported objects are stacked at the bottom, causing the loads transported to move away from the spine, and consequent biomechanical imbalances, which can trigger musculoskeletal injuries. In addition to this problem, the characteristics of current backpacks cause interaction problems with them, from the point of view of usability (ease of putting and removing materials) and user experience (emotional reactions of young people when using them). In this context, Ergodesign, through Human- Centered Design, proposes an important contribution in the development of new design solutions for school backpacks for carrying loads. The project was developed in 4 phases: 1st) Understanding the context of use, through: the State of the Art; Development of a benchmarking to evaluate the existing solutions; Simulation of proposals for solutions to the problem of removing loads from the spine, carried in backpacks; 2nd) Definition of user requirements, which result from the studies carried out in the previous phase; 3rd) Production of solutions, through ideation and prototyping of increasing complexity (graph to physical prototypes); 4th) Iterative evaluation of solutions according to user requirements. The results achieved are characterized by a backpack consisting of a structure fixed to the torso and several vertically superimposed detachable bags. This solution reduces the depth of the backpack and, as a consequence, the moments of force that cause injuries to the spine. In addition to this aspect, the solution of detachable bags, with different colors, textures and images, allows the customization of the backpack every day and quick access to school supplies. In conclusion, in this project, we prove that Ergodesign, through Human-Centered Design, was an effective means for the development of a backpack for carrying school supplies.
