Abstract

This study aims to include a comprehensive review of the literature to determine the current state of the literature on adaptive apparel. This paper reviews published journal articles that focus on adaptive apparel as well as the market and needs for PWDs. Such a systematic review helps apparel scholars build a foundation of research domains and identify knowledge gaps through knowledge assimilation.
