To examine the ability of women with arthritis to manipulate fasteners, 97 women with various forms of arthritis were interviewed and tested using an adjustable bodice-front vest with assorted detachable fastener samples. Since evaluations were performed, in most cases, when the disease was in remission, nearly all of the women were able to manipulate the fasteners presented--sets of zippers, buttons, Velcro, and snaps. The conventional zipper with large teeth and ring pull tab exposed application, and a convex button with a shank used with a vertical buttonhole were manipulated most easily, while fasteners more difficult to manipulate included an invisible zipper, no-sew gripper snaps, and several Velcro samples. Subjects tended to prefer conventional fasteners and methods of application used in ready-to-wear apparel.
为了研究患有关节炎的女性操作扣件的能力，我们对97名患有各种形式关节炎的女性进行了访谈，并使用一件带有各种可拆卸扣件样品的可调节前身紧身背心进行了测试。由于评估大多是在疾病缓解期进行的，几乎所有女性都能够操作所提供的扣件——拉链、纽扣、魔术贴和摁扣。大齿且拉环外露的传统拉链以及带柄凸钮搭配垂直扣眼的使用方式最容易操作，而较难操作的扣件包括隐形拉链、免缝搭扣和几种魔术贴样品。受试者倾向于选择成衣中使用的传统扣件及其应用方法。
