“…A study conducted in Portugal with individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, who often have reduced or impaired mobility and are at risk of developing pressure injuries [ 68 ], revealed that caregivers and rehabilitation professionals do not use assistive devices such as wearables. Respondents expressed unfamiliarity with the interface design of such devices, which could affect their ease of use and reduce their adoption [ 72 ].…”

The global relevance of pressure injury (PI) prevention technologies arise from their impact on the quality of life of people with limited mobility and the costs associated with treating these preventable injuries. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to evaluate the design of a prototype integrating Smart Health Textiles for PI prevention based on feedback from specialist nurses who care for individuals who are prone to or have PIs. This is a mixed methods study. A structured questionnaire was conducted as part of an evaluation of a prototype garment for the prevention of PIs. This questionnaire was applied during the evaluation of the prototype and afterwards focus group discussions were held with experts. Descriptive statistics techniques were used to analyze the data and thematic and integrated content analysis was conducted through concomitant triangulation. Nineteen nurses took part, aged 30 to 39 years (52.6%) and with 12.31 ± 8.96 years of experience. Participants showed that the prototype required more manipulation and physical effort, which interfered its usefulness, in addition to presenting difficulties with the openings and the material of the closure system, which interfered with the ease of use and learning. Overall satisfaction with the product was moderate, with some areas for improvement found, such as satisfaction, recommendations to colleagues, and pleasantness of use. It is concluded that areas for improvement have been found in all dimensions, including in the design of openings and the choice of materials. These findings supply significant insights for improving clothing to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients.

“…Os artigos encontrados mostraram um panorama desprovido de discussões e/ou soluções que contribuíssem para a mudança da perspectiva de consumo. O que torna um desafio não só em entender as características facilitadoras de uso, mas também exige maior conhecimento de ferramentas e metodologias assertivas para que o produto não passe de "inclusivo" à estigmatizante e exclusivo, como alguns estudos sobre tecnologias/dispositivos assistivos apontam (MARTELI et al, 2022).…”

Os produtos de vestuário são itens que contribuem para a sobrevivência e que possuem grande importância na expressão identitária. Neste contexto, pessoas com restrições motoras podem ter dificuldades de interação com esses produtos, afetando sua expressão social e vivenciando desconfortos. Com isso, esse estudo traz uma revisão narrativa e com métodos sistemáticos das publicações do ModaPalavra e-periódico sob a temática da usabilidade, vestuário e inclusão, com o objetivo de verificar as pesquisas sobre design de vestuário inclusivo e suas abordagens de investigação, para identificar quais usuários e análises estão sendo abordadas para o desenvolvimento de produtos ergonômicos e/ou inclusivos. Logo, todas as publicações até maio de 2023 foram verificadas e destes apenas os artigos completos estiveram sob análise segundo critérios de elegibilidade resultando em 12 artigos incluídos na análise e discussão dos resultados. Os resultados indicam uma produção preliminar da pesquisa sobre essa temática, marcada pela predominância de artigos exploratórios e estudo de caso, assim como uma tendência de análise sob a ótica do bem-estar e conforto. O presente artigo pôde contribuir para percepção do cenário de pesquisa deste tema, para o avanço na disseminação da demanda por pesquisas que abordem através do design ergonômico, vestuários inclusivos.
