This study aimed to investigate how width affects the design evaluation of sliding boards with a new shape. Ten caregivers at senior facility evaluated five types every two weeks. The shape board received high ratings as increased, SUS (System Usability Scale) score 68.5 points (95% CI 60.6–76.4). Compared traditional rectangular board, which had 250 mm and thickness 5 mm, (with central 163 8 mm) higher by 0.68 0.31–1.05)using paired comparison method. results quantitative on usability from perspective indicated that for similar shapes length 650 increases in range 130 center.
