Selain itu, panca indera lansia juga mengalami penurunan seperti kepekaan indera penglihatan, indera pendengaran hingga indera peraba dimana lansia sering mengalami tremor atau gemetar tangan. Dengan permasalahan baik dari fisik dan psikis lansia maka diperlukan adanya alat atau sarana bantu jalan yang dapat meminimalkan rasa bosan untuk menjaga kesehatan fisik dan psikis mereka.
Metode yang penelitian yang digunakan yaitu dari data literature, shadowing, dan diari studies. Selain itu juga dilakukan metode story telling dengan beberapa narasumber dari lansia itu sendiri.
Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah membuat desain sarana bantu jalan untuk membatu mobilotas lansia dengan konsep elder friendly yang dapat meminimalkan rasa bosan dan kesepian lansia agar tetap menjaga kesehatan fisik dan psikis lansia.
