Abstract
In order to explore the relationship between the degree of nursing difficulty and the opening and closing modes of clothing, three style of clothing with different opening and closing modes were designed and its ergonomic performance was intensively investigated with help of objective experimental data and subjective comfort evaluation. Experimental results showed that the opening and closing modes of nursing clothing could significantly affect the difficulty of nursing. And found the newly designed clothing (NO.2 and NO.3) had better ergonomic performance in clothing style and structure than the in-service one (NO.1*). In addition, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was applicable to ergonomic evaluation of clothing. Therefore, this finding is not only helpful to understand the effect of the opening and closing modes of clothing on nursing difficulty, but also provided reference for consumers in their decision making for buying clothes for disabled people with one side of their body.
