this paper aims to enhance the design of existing trousers by focusing on adaptive structure design and
wearing convenience. It also proposes a design concept for wheelchair trouser integration.<br/>For adaptive structure design, the structure of the trousers is adapted to the corresponding parts of
the wheelchair to obtain an enhanced trouser pattern. Through clo3d virtual fitting verification, the
pressure distribution effect of trousers in a sitting posture improved. The connection between the back
of the pants and the wheelchair seat is designed to achieve optimal stabilisation. The U-shaped opening
design of the wheelchair seat allows for proper storage of the front of the pants, enabling quick circulation
and enhancing the independence of wheelchair users.<br/>A wear trial experiment was conducted to evaluate the convenience of the prototype trousers. This
involved calculating the wearing time and independent coefficient, which provided evidence that the
proposed integrated wheelchair trouser design significantly improves wearing convenience.</p>},
