Metz, Stephen, Isle, Brian, Denno, Sandra and Odom, James (1992): Thermostats for Individuals with Movement Disabilities: Design Options and Manipulation Strategies. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 180-184.

“Using common household products is often difficult for people with neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury, or arthritis. We need to better understand their capabilities when designing and adapting products that are easier for them to use. In this study, individuals with movement impairments used two experimental home control thermostats with features that allowed easier positioning and viewing. The participants employed a variety of grasping and manipulation strategies, including some that were not anticipated by the designers. Participants' preferences indicated that the appearance of the product, not just effective control design, was an important factor in their judgments. We discuss the implications of the study results for universal design and adaptation of traditional products for the elderly and those with disabilities.”
