The aim of this study is to raise awareness of the value of clothing designed for people with physical disabilities, with a focus on comfort, safety, and mobility, is the aim of this study. The study answers two important questions: why do fashion designers frequently fail to make special clothes for people with physical disabilities, and how do these people feel when they have trouble getting dressed and taking off their clothes?
For people with physical limitations, adaptive clothing improves comfort, movement, and independence, which can have life-changing effects. Innovative designs that address issues including limited dexterity and mobility disabilities include adjustable features, Velcro fasteners, and magnetic closures. These solutions make daily tasks easier while promoting dignity and individuality. But conventional apparel frequently falls short of these requirements, underscoring the need for clothing that puts inclusion first.
The study's findings show that participants have a very positive opinion of adapted clothing options, highlighting the significance of inclusive and useful designs. The results show that there is a sizable market for creative apparel that meets a range of demands, which is consistent with the larger trend toward accessible design. This study emphasizes how important adapted apparel is to enhance the lives of people with physical disabilities and urges fashion designers to pay more attention to this underrepresented group.
