"Design from the brains, less from the guts"
Physiotherapy equipment is not purchased on account of its design.
However, design does have an important part to play. It is a fact designing this equipment from a creative point of view is fairly limited.
The design comes from the brains, and much less from the guts.
The function of the equipment is a primary factor. After that, ergonomic aspects are examined, as are selection of the right colours from a psychological point of view and working on human radiation.
