Abstract
This article discusses the benefits of textile technology for inclusive design, recognizing aspects that prioritize the comfort and health of the wheelchair user. The benefit proposed here is aimed at people with mobility difficulties, specifically wheelchair users, whose main focus is on prevent or lessen the formation of pressure ulcers, when the dermis and epidermis have not yet suffered ruptures. New directions for textile processing are approached from microencapsulation aimed at clothing for people with physical disabilities to better adapt to everyday life and consequently to health. Through exploratory research, different improvements were investigated from the use of microcapsules. The state of the art of microcapsules applied in fabrics for clothing will be addressed. It will also be presented the application methodologies of the microcapsules proposed here and the results obtained regarding the pregnancy of the microencapsulated active material in cotton fabrics for clothing. All research-related methodologies will be presented, but part of the tests will be applied later, due to the new corona virus pandemic, this is because people with physical disabilities who would be tested, fall into a risk group for the disease, and cannot undergo to tests temporarily.
