Abstract
Activisation is very important for motor disabled persons and helps them to integrate with the whole of society. Physically disabled persons face many occupation related obstacles at work, mainly connected with the presence of architectonic barriers and the occupational environment. An important part of the employment process of locomotor disabled workers is the adjustment of work stations to the worker’s needs, providing workwear, rooms and work plant surrounding adaptation. Analysis of workwear available on the market shows that commercial offers do not cover workwear dedicated especially for physically disabled persons. The main goal of workwear design and construction is to provide complex comfort for the user, whose needs and expectations differ from able-bodied employees. In this study the general assumptions of textile material selection for workwear dedicated for locomotor disabled employees are presented, together with the results of tests carried out for selected textile materials.
