Abstract

This paper demonstrates the design framework needed to develop sportswear for wheelchair users. This framework is based on the premise that the mobility and comfort associated with using wheelchairs should be considered for a successful garment and the wearing of it. That means that comfort dimension was the main criterion for this design framework for developing the best sportswear for wheelchair users.

Keywords: comfort, synthetic model, people with disability
