Ease of Movement and Stretch Comfort
topic
Ease of movement testing measures joint range of motion, perceived exertion, and garment-induced restriction during standardised movement sequences using motion capture, electromyography, and rating of perceived exertion scales; fabric mechanical stretch and recovery properties measured under bi-axial extension are correlated with subjective freedom of movement ratings.
Role
Validates the functional mobility performance of sportswear, workwear, and military garments, ensuring that fabric extensibility and garment pattern engineering provide sufficient movement freedom for task-specific physical demands without impeding performance or increasing fatigue.
