Clothing-related issues can create barriers to social participation and other desired activities for people living with disabilities and their families. The purpose of this study was to identify clothing-related barriers people living with disabilities and their families are facing. An online survey was administered to people living with disabilities and parents/caregivers, resulting in a sample of 113 participants indicating mobility impairments. Survey results indicated that the clothing needs of people living with disabilities and impairments are not being met, the lack of appropriate clothing prevented individuals from fully engaging in social activities and relationships, employment or everyday life events. The design fields and apparel industry could play a vital role in helping people with mobility disabilities navigate these barriers.
与服装相关的问题可能会给残疾人士及其家庭参与社会活动和其他期望的活动造成障碍。本研究的目的是确定残疾人士及其家庭所面临的与服装相关的障碍。对残疾人士以及父母/照顾者进行了一项在线调查，最终获得了113名表明有行动障碍的参与者样本。调查结果表明，残疾人士和有行动障碍者的服装需求未得到满足，缺乏合适的服装阻碍了个人充分参与社交活动和人际关系、就业或日常生活事务。设计领域和服装行业在帮助行动不便的人士克服这些障碍方面可以发挥至关重要的作用。
