Kusumo, I. (n.d.). stated that ablution in a sitting position provides
more cleanliness and comfort than ablution in a standing position.
Ablution in a sitting position can avoid back fatigue due to
bending, especially for the elderly.

Study your feet.
Another thing that is of concern is that ablution in a sitting
position also makes the ablution atmosphere more calm and
relaxed so that the quality of ablution can be better maintained.
The level of comfort in performing the ablution movement is
highly dependent on the shape of the ablution position,
especially the height of the faucet and the movement position
of the person standing or sitting for ablution, as well as the type
of person performing the ablution activity (Putri, Y. A., & Utami, T.
N. 2021).
According to Bridger (2008), there are three essential elements
Literature that should be considered when designing work facilities to
promote good posture:
Study user characteristics, which involve the anthropometric factors
and profiles of the population using the facilities,
work procedures that outline the specific steps involved in a
particular job, and
adequate work facilities. It is crucial that these three components
are interrelated and mutually supportive of each other.

Universal Design Principles Description Discussion
(1) Equitable use Useful and marketable to people Due to the habit of ablution while standing in Indonesian society, the facilities tested were
with diverse abilities able to meet the adult age range, but some participants felt awkward when doing ablution
in a sitting position. For the elderly user might need some more study
(2) Flexibility of use Accommodates a wide range of Some participants put their feet into the tub while sitting, and some others outside the tub

(6) Low physical effort Can be used efficiently and There is still quite physical effort, especially when the participants have to bend too low,

(7) Size and space for Appropriate size and space is The size of the existing product still needs to be adjusted to Indonesia's anthropometric
approach of use provided for approach, reach, profile. The problem of distance and height of the faucet, the width of the tub and the
manipulation, and use regardless height of the tub wall still needs further study to support ease of movement and reduce the

or mobility
The initial study identified several issues with the current design,
which can be summarized as follows:
Lack of handrails or grip support: The product lacks handrails or any
means for users to hold on to, which poses a potential risk of injury.
Concerns regarding distance and faucet height: in accordance to
Soeparwoko (2014), the design should consider the appropriate
distance and height of the faucet, as these factors are crucial.
Varied attitudes and perceptions: People have different attitudes
Conclusion and perceptions when it comes to using the product, and the current
design fails to cater to all users' needs.
Inadequate representation of ablution means: The product design
does not effectively represent a suitable method for performing
ablution.
Dominance of standing ablution: The study found that the
preference for standing ablution is more prevalent, while the design
does not prioritize comfort for those performing ablution in a sitting
position.
