生物力学数据可用于通知设计过程，以确保包容性设计。然而，许多产品的设计显然不是包容性的，一个可能的原因是没有使用生物力学数据，无法获得或提供的好处不足以将其纳入设计过程。本研究调查设计师使用生物力学数据，告知在消费品包装行业的包容性设计的过程。对包装设计专业人员进行了访谈，以获取有关其使用生物力学数据的信息，并确定其是否遵循包容性设计原则。使用观察性研究和定制的力和运动测量工具收集生物力学数据。最后，将生物力学数据提交给设计师，以确定设计过程中使用的最佳/首选格式。设计者很少使用生物力学数据，并且包容性设计原则未常规纳入公司程序。有明显的偏好与真实的主题的图像的视觉数据。大多数定量的力和运动数据格式被认为是不适合日常使用，由于商业优先和缺乏技术欣赏。使用生物力学测试来制定标准以允许包容性设计可能是前进的方向。
Biomechanical data may be used to inform the design process to ensure Inclusive Design. Yet many products are clearly not designed inclusively, one possible reason being that biomechanical data are not used, is not available or offers insufficient benefits to merit integration into the design process. This study investigates designers’ use of biomechanical data to inform the process of Inclusive Design in the consumer packaging industry. Packaging design professionals were interviewed to elicit information regarding their use of biomechanical data and to establish if they followed Inclusive Design principles. Biomechanical data were collected using observational study and customised force and motion measurement tools. Finally, biomechanical data were presented to the designers to establish the best/preferred format for use in the design process. Biomechanical data were rarely used by the designers and Inclusive Design principles were not routinely incorporated into company procedures. There was clear preference for visual data with imagery of real subjects. Most quantitative force and motion data formats were considered to be unsuitable for routine use due to commercial priorities and lack of technical appreciation. The use of biomechanical testing to develop standards to allow Inclusive Design may be the way forward.
