Key Points

The aim is to explore user satisfaction with rollator usage in home settings and identify safety concerns.
Conducted a quantitative study with open-ended responses.
Analyzed user feedback to identify satisfaction levels, defects, and safety issues.
Examined barriers related to context and services for rollator use.
High overall satisfaction reported by users.
Identified safety concerns related to product defects and accidents.
Highlighted barriers that affect rollator usability in home environments.

Implication

Exploratory quantitative study investigates rollator satisfaction in home environments, suggesting improvements for safety and usability.

Abstract

Despite high satisfaction, observed defects and reported accidents indicate relevant safety concerns, alongside barriers related to context and services. Strengthening user-centered product-service design and follow-up may improve safety and long-term usability.
