Recommendations (6)
Evaluate inclusive clothing prototypes and workshop-developed models with real users, comparing the effects of pattern/cut, fabrics, fasteners, colors, textures, and patterns on wearability.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- High
Integrate users directly into clothing-development processes so functional, aesthetic, and symbolic requirements are refined without descaracterizing familiar garment types.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Short → Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium-High
Reconfigure modeling and technical attributes—fit, openings, fabrics, and fasteners—to promote independence in dressing/undressing for people with Parkinson’s and comparable motor limitations.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- High
Investigate the symbolic, aesthetic, and identity dimensions of inclusive clothing—including stigma, self-esteem, age-coded appearance, colors, and patterns—so products support belonging instead of segregation.
- Scope:
- Macro
- Time Horizon:
- Long
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Complement laboratory protocols with home-based qualitative studies so dressing/undressing is observed in more realistic consumption contexts.
- Scope:
- Meso
- Time Horizon:
- Short → Medium
- Evidence Strength:
- Indicative
- Feasibility:
- Medium
Develop accessible and culturally appropriate alternatives to sporty or overly simplified garments and assistive products so users are not forced into stigmatizing substitutions.
