Occupational therapy aims to restore patients’ functional abilities through rehabilitation, with dressing activities being a critical component in activities of daily living assessments. Clothing is essential for physical protection, psychological stability, and promoting social participation. Despite the significance of dressing activities, research on training apparel incorporating occupational therapy principles remains limited. As a preliminary step in developing apparel for dressing activity training, this study aims to identify essential design elements that facilitate in daily living training and hold potential in occupational therapy. A comprehensive literature review and case analysis were conducted to identify essential clothing design components. The research results are as follows. The design features a pattern with a front-center opening, generous armholes, and ease allowances, along with modular components that enable variable collar and pocket configurations. A designated weight pocket is seamlessly integrated without restricting movement. Fabric selections emphasize human safety, comfort, stability, and durability, providing a soft texture and a broad range of color options within the modular design. Additional details include detachable collar and pocket elements, while trims and accessories are executed with buttons or zippers for closure and utilize Velcro, buckles, buttons, or drawstrings for size adjustments, all available in a variety of colors and sizes. This study highlights the need for modular, userfriendly training apparel that support occupational therapy goals. The findings provide fundamental insights into dressing activity training wear, serving as a foundational resource for future research and clinical applications.
