Abstract

The global population is aging, creating a gradual increase in patients with chronic diseases. According to the theory of color therapy, color is able to increase positive feelings and enhance the effectiveness of treatment. This study, based on Kansei Engineering theory, explores the effect of color on use of Physical therapy equipment. The purpose of this study is to reinforce the patient’s positive feelings and thus improve the efficiency of treatment. Firstly, relevant adjectives were found from references. Find five experts were sought out to select main adjectives and colours for feelings relating to lower limb physical therapy equipment images, get 6 sets of vocabulary and 12 colors. Secondly, a questionnaire survey was conducted through semantic differences method to further find the colours which relate closest to positive images of lower limb physical therapy equipment, valid sample of 334 people. Finally, according to the results, the lower limb physical therapy equipment recoloured, followed by another questionnaire survey, valid sample of 418 people. The results of this study show that yellow green (C30-M0-Y60-K0), red (C0-M55-Y30-K0), blue green (C60-M0-Y25-K0) color can enhance user rehabilitation have a positive feeling.
