| Summary: | Prayer mats are prayer equipment used by Muslims, including elderly Muslims. When
performing prayers, the challenges faced by the elderly are postural imbalances and pain in
the feet. This challenge is caused by musculoskeletal disorders experienced by the elderly.
Therefore, research was conducted with the aim of identifying the proposed concept of
ergonomic prayer rug products that suit the needs of the elderly.
This research consists of six main stages, namely identification of customer needs,
determination of target specifications, generation of product concepts, selection of product
concepts, testing of product concepts, and determination of final specifications. At the stage
of identifying customer needs, interviews are conducted with the elderly to get needs. The
stage continues to determine the target specification so that the target specification is
produced in the form of marginal value and metric ideal value. Next, a product concept is
raised based on potential needs and problems. Several identified alternative product
concepts were then selected with Pugh's assessment matrix. The selected alternative product
concept is then tested with a postural sway test using a force plate and purchase intention
calculations. Postural sway tests are carried out to determine the ergonomics of the product
through a biomechanical approach. Finally, finalization of product specifications is carried
out according to the identified metrics.
From the product concept development process carried out, a prayer rug product concept
proposal was obtained consisting of three layers, namely micro suede fabric, mambo
weaving, and anti-slip fabric. The prayer rug has a length of 110 cm, a width of 70 cm, and
a thickness of between 0.5 – 1 cm. The prayer rug is designed to be portable and has a
minimalist design. The results of this study can be used as input for future research in
developing ergonomic prayer rugs for the elderly. Further research can be done by
developing product concepts to the system level design stage, detail design, prototype and
testing, and production process improvement. In addition, for prayer rug manufacturers, the
proposed prayer rug concept can be used as a reference in producing ergonomic prayer
rugs so that prayer rug products are comfortable to use by users.
