Abstrakt
Users with reduced mobility, who are bedridden or in wheelchairs for long periods, are prone to several
changes in the main human body systems. Clothing as an essential item for these users, will be in direct
contact with the skin, also for long periods. The adopted posture will influence the interaction with
clothing, and consequently, will have an effect on the body. Understanding these body changes, namely
the changes in anthropometric measurements according to the adopted posture, becomes relevant, given
the impact on total comfort, especially in its ergonomic variable. The objective of this study is to
identify, quantify and compare users body changes for the main resting positions adopted throughout
their day, as a condition of reduced mobility, in particular in the situation of lying down, in dorsal and/or
lateral decubitus, as well as the resting situation in the sitting position.
