With the increasing attention of society to the disabled population, the design of standing assistance wheelchairs, as important rehabilitation equipment, has significant implications for improving the quality of life of people with physical disabilities through design optimization. This study aims to explore innovative design strategies based on ergonomics and emotional design theory, combined with industrial design methods, to address the limitations of current standing assistance wheelchairs in terms of appearance design, human-machine interaction, and personalized adaptation. This paper has studied and analyzed the current development status in China and foreign countries, pointing out that traditional products have problems such as high cost, single functionality, and insufficient comfort. It is proposed that comfort design should integrate ergonomics and emotional experience, using soft colors, personalized customization to relieve psychological pressure, and auxiliary function design emphasizing operational convenience and adjustability to achieve personalized adaptation and emotional recognition synergy. On this basis, a design scheme based on the core concept of "people-oriented" is proposed, which adopts a simple streamlined appearance to weaken stereotypes, integrates an intelligent control system to enhance functional experience, and enhances emotional resonance through color matching and material selection. This provides theoretical and practical references for promoting the development of the assistive device industry towards a more humane and sustainable direction.
