摘 要

隨著近年來生活品質提升與醫療技術的進步，高齡化社會已是所有開發與開發中國家面臨到的重要問題， 據調查人類平均壽命已創史前的新高，而且有明顯向上提升的趨勢，引發各國對於高齡化社會問題的探討。而對高齡者與社會之直接影響便是醫療、社會福利、照顧等問題將日趨受到重視，且投入相當的財力、物力，俾使在制度配合下能激發產業的投入，給高齡族群更方便的生活空間。

對高齡者而言，隨著年齡的增長，除了生理方面的老化之外，心理方面也會產生某種程度認知性老化意識，而治療只能改善或遏止病情的惡化，身體的運動與調和，才是主要治本的辦法。藉由高齡者對生心理之認知性與特徵、運動與休閒、抗老化等相關文獻探討，本研究運用（1）高齡者之認知心理（2）人因工程、（3）形態解構法、（4）專利策略；於產品創新設計，設計適合高齡者休閒運動之健身器材。研究上，並以「足部運動健身器材」為例，說明如何運用產品創新設計方法與結合專利申請以保護權利，以使企業開發設計具有社會福祉與市場效益之創新產品。

關鍵詞：人因工程、認知、高齡者、形態解構、創新。

Abstract

Owing to the upgrading of living quality and improvement of medical technology in recent years, elderly society is going to be a serious problem for development and in developing country, the investigated average living age of human being leads to an unprecedented high record, and it’s still getting higher in trend, it occurs to the problem elderly society in countries all over the world. Therefore lot’s of effort are donated to inspire all faculties could participate in, to give elderly a wider living space.

With the age increases, not only physical maturing, but also a sort of mental ageing appears. To treat can merely improve or stop getting worse, therefore, to prevent is the only way to perform a radical cure. To exercise and adjust the body is the main method to prevent. This research proposes by（1） Cognition of the elderly（2）Ergonomic methodologies（3）Configure destruction（4）Patent application. Design of a「Foot Exercise Products」is then employed as an example to depict how to incorporate the product design method and Patent application, in order to enterprise to develop competitive product and welfare.

Keywords：Ergonomic methodologies, Cognition, the elderly, configure destruction, Innovation
