휠체어를 사용하는 여성 장애인을 위한 상의패턴 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop torso pattern suitable to the body-type of female wheelchair users. The result is as follows. The body-type with the highest frequency in the preceding studies was selected as the representative body-type, and female wheelchair user with body-type close to the mean measurement of the representative body-type were selected as the test subjects to design the torso pattern of this study. The torso length was shortened to about 5~7㎝ than the torso pattern for standard body-type, and the margin of waist measurement was 14~20㎝ that was longer than the standard. Upon considering the protruded back side area of disabled people on wheelchair according to their physical characteristics, the center back was incised at the back width location to open about 0.7~1㎝ in order to give room in the back width. The pattern of this study was favorably evaluated in the drapery evaluation than the existing pattern. Accordingly, the torso pattern developed in this study is expected to assist in producing clothing suitable to the physical figure of disabled people on wheelchair.
