Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to design "universal specifications in clothing" that can maintain and improve activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL) even in circumstances where physical functions are restricted due to aging or disability. This basic study involved the measurement and analysis of the physiology and physical functions of elderly and disabled individuals. Further, to develop specific clothing design guidelines for assisting their physical function, we conducted developmental research from thermal, pressure, and tactile perspectives using physiological measurement data as an indicator.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

身体機能の変化は,高齢になるにつれて拡大する傾向がみられる.高齢者や障害者の生理機能を若齢者や健常者と比較・解析する基礎研究を踏まえ,その成果を基盤とした「ユニバーサル仕様」の衣服設計は,加齢や障害による身体機能の低下をアシストし,体温調節機能を補完する上において意義がある.またこれにより,生活の質(QOL)の向上と日常活動動作(ADL)を円滑にすることが可能となり,外出や社会参加などアクティブとなり,生活を楽しむことが可能となる.すなわち,本研究の成果は,超高齢社会における健康寿命の延伸に貢献するものであり,意義あるものと考えられる.
