휠체어 장애인의 대량맞춤을 위한 정장 프로토타입 패턴 개발

Abstract

Background This study aims to develop suit designs and patterns for disabled men in wheelchairs. In this study, a suit pattern prototype is presented, which reflects not only the clothing inconvenience level and their preference of suit for the disabled in wheelchairs on advanced research data but also their body characteristics. In addition, they were evaluated and modified through wearing tests and then master patterns were completed. Methods The design of System M. Müller was set as a basic pattern. Body sizes such ad chest circumference, waist circumference, waist-back length, hip circumference, crotch length, and slacks length were considered in designing patterns. Result The findings from wearing evaluation for master patterns that were revised and complemented from basic patterns and development patterns are that there were significant differences at p<0.001 in 25 out of 44 categories, and significant differences at p<0.01 in 11 categories. It means that the master patterns as reflect on their body characteristics were more fit with disabled in wheelchairs than basic patterns. Conclusion As for jackets, Master patterns applied properly to gaps on the hemlines, jacket length, as well as collar and lapel categories. As for slacks, it was appropriate to determine ease using darts on the knee part, to make slacks longer, and to shorten the front crotch length and to lengthen the back.
