The prevalence of functional impairment in Great Britain

Clarkson, John; Dong, Hua; Keates, Simeon

Abstract

The general lack of awareness of the wider range of end-user capabilities often results in inconsiderate design that excludes many users, especially older users and users with disabilities. There is a need for designers to understand both the nature and implications of the wider range of user capabilities to enable them to cater for diverse capability losses.
