Abstract

The wearing of bra needs the cooperation of both hands. It is difficult for the female users with one hand disability to complete this simple action smoothly. They wear bra with one hand. Therefore, the research aims to design a bra wearing accessory with simple structure, convenient use and fast speed, effectively solve the problem of women who can only wear bra with one hand, and improve their experience and happiness of bra wearing. Methods Based on the literature research and the analysis of the behavior of single handed women wearing brassiere, the key factors influencing the wearing of brassiere and the pain points of wearing brassiere were explored, the demand factors for wearing brassiere were extracted, the demand model was established, and the design method of single handed accessories was put forward. The design samples of innovative products were made according to the proposed design method, and the actual situation of the subjects was provided Use, experience and test validation. Results The usability of assistive products was tested and counted, and finally the design method and products of the assistive products for bra wearing that meet the convenience and comfort requirements of the target users were obtained. Conclusion It can be used as a reference for the innovation mode and design evaluation index of assistive devices for the disabled with one hand.
