Functional Clothing Design for the Elderly

AHFE International, 2022
This paper introduces a functional clothing design for the elderly. Due to the aging of the elderly body organs and tissues, joint stability and mobility are declining, bone density and strength are also declining, physical activity is not as good as before. The purpose of this paper is to determine the needs and problems of the elderly on clothing and

Designing Functional Clothing for Human-robot Interaction

Companion of the 2021 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, 2021
We believe that we can design robot clothes to help robots become better robots-help them to be useful in a wider array of contexts, or to better adapt or function in the contexts they are already in. We propose that robot clothing should avoid mere mimicry of human apparel, and instead be motivated by what robots need.

Functional Clothing for The Differently Abled

Indian Journal of Public Health Research & Development, 2017
Disability may be broadly defined as a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities. Functional clothing is essentially designed to fulfil special requirements of the wearer including body disproportions or impairment. It also may affect a person's emotional wellbeing.

THE COMFORT AND FUNCTION OF CLOTHING

1969
Abstract : The matters discussed are: clothing as a quasi-physiological system interacting with the body; means of describing the thermal and moisture relations and experimentally determining characteristic coefficients of clothing; the more usual structural description of clothing, and some of the possible variations of its structure or design; heat ...
