An extreme microclimate inside footwear contributes to wear discomfort and performance impairment. A thermal foot manikin system was developed to evaluate the thermal insulation of footwear. The uniqueness of this foot manikin is that it utilizes a specially designed all-in-one flexible heating sheet with uneven distribution of resistive wires to achieve a non-uniform gradient temperature distribution along the foot surface.

It has been a long-standing problem in the engineering design of bra for optimal support and shaping due to the difficulty of quantifying the hyper-elastic properties of human breasts. The objective of this study is to determine an optimal approach to obtain the non-linear properties of breast soft tissues and the corresponding deformations during motions.

Technology has initiated a new era in art and craft. SPARK: The Science and Art of Creativity was organized for the first time by the British Council in January with the collaboration of over 200 artists, scientists and academics from Hong Kong and the United Kingdom celebrating creativity across the arts, sciences and education.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of indoor footwear with a textured surface to improve control of balance and reduce excessive plantar pressure in older women.

The use of appropriate footwear could reduce the risk of falls among the geriatric population. However, the elderly are generally reluctant to accept new footwear designs particularly with the incorporation of fabrication materials and functional design features that are perceived to be less comfortable.

This study aims to find the best-fitted yoga pants structure for young women.
