Abstract:
Products for elderly people are often not very usable. In this paper a case study is described, where users of walkers were asked how satisfied they are with their walking aid and which problems they experience. The outcome of this was not only a better understanding of the users in handling their walkers, but some difficulties in using interviews as method to get requirements could be detected.
