Abstract

Recently, civilizations have developed, horizons have expanded, and societies have opened up to increasing attention to the disabled and people with special needs in general, and development has increased to alleviate their suffering, and to develop a certain idea and programs to highlight their talents and mental abilities and integrate them into society, with this development the progress of the textile industry has increased, as textiles play an effective role in challenging disability, so their use has shifted from general uses such as clothing to more complex uses.



These clothes must be characterized by special specifications to be more distinguished to help alleviate the extent of suffering of people with motor disabilities, using lycra for various coverage coefficients to produce the fabrics used, it is these special specifications to use materials that have the ability to high flexibility so that the injured person can move the organ that is difficult to move to gain a sense of comfort.

These fabrics used in clothing that challenge motor disabilities using lycra fibers mixed with cotton are little used, because these fibers provide high features such as they are elongated and have high elasticity in addition to absorbing sweat. Hence, the research topic "The effect of different structural structures on properties

Despite technological progress, traditional clothes in markets with motor disabilities are inappropriate, because they have an impact on people with motor disabilities, it is not limited to disability and functional deficiency only, but includes social and psychological consequences, so it deserves to take care of these clothes and adapt them to suit their own needs.

Therefore, this problem must be studied and appropriate solutions must be developed to take advantage of the effect of the difference in some structural structures on the functional properties of clothes for people with motor disabilities by using a different coefficient of lycra coverage to increase elasticity while absorbing sweat in order to give them a sense of comfort.
