Abstract

People with Parkinson's disease may be impaired in many daily activities, including dressability (clothes usability). The study aimed to understand how the characteristics of clothing design influence the difficulty in dressing and undressing pants and socks. The results indicate a significant (p<0.05) decrease in efficiency and satisfaction when compared with a control group. Discussions point out that the design of these clothes should be planned with new inclusive applications considering the characteristics of these users.
