“…Some efforts have been made to understand if and how representations may facilitate the dialogue between designers and users, (e.g., Engelbrektsson, 2004). The role that design representations may play in supporting users as co-designers in design projects has also been addressed, for example, by Cain (2005), Dorta et al (2019) and Eriksson et al (2021), but considerable emphasis has also been placed on which design representation to choose in supporting users in their role as evaluators, including what reactions different types of representations evoke (e.g. Reid et al, 2013) or what level of fidelity is appropriate for valid evaluations, not least in usability testing (e.g., Walker et al, 2002;Sauer et al, 2010).…”

Design representations are important tools for designers in the design process. To help designers choose the appropriate representation, taxonomies have been proposed based on type, degree of fidelity, and when to use them. However, Design representations may also play an important role in designers' communication with users and enabling users as co-designers. Therefore, new taxonomies, focusing on design representations’ potential mediating roles in collaborative design processes with users, have been developed. The purpose of this interview study, with twelve designers within Swedish industry, was thus to investigate how designers use design representations in communication with users in the design process. The study indicates that the designers mainly interacted with users in order for them to answer specific design questions or to evaluate design solutions. If design representations’ value for facilitating communication and collaboration with users should be emphasized, we need to shift from teaching mainly taxonomies related to fidelity levels or when to use them in the design process, and rather educate future designers about design representations inherent potential to mediate and enhance the dialogue with users.

“…Serious exergames, which are games designed for a purpose other than entertainment, may provide therapists with the necessary level of control. To make these tools truly relevant and applicable in daily practice, physical therapists must begin collaborating with game developers and engineers (Bonnechère et al, 2016;Eriksson et al, 2021). Collaboration between these groups may also improve clinical professionals' attitudes toward the concept of serious games in their practice.…”

Highly motivated patients who enjoy their physical rehabilitation tend to attain better therapeutic outcomes. However, given the prolonged repetitive nature of postural control rehabilitation in older adults and children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), motivation levels might drop quickly. Exergames and digital therapy tools could offer practical answers to this issue and allow therapists to provide patients objective outcome measurements. To incorporate digital innovation in clinical and rehabilitation practices, this study discusses Matti, an interactive system created as a customisable tangible user interface (TUI). Its usability in pediatric and geriatric physiotherapy contexts is explored and evaluated through user evaluation. The Matti device was found to be usable and enjoyable for exergaming rehabilitation. However, additional study on measuring capabilities is needed to enable the accurate and reliable objective outcome measurements through this TUI. Future research should analyse how this TUI and gamified postural control assessment affects patients' motivation and therapeutic outcomes.
