A 2-week compression apparel project from my Year 1 Apparel Studio course.
This piece focuses on using the basic concepts and functions of compression apparel to improve the performance of high-point wheelchair basketball athletes. A unique innovation using high-stretch TPU film to map compression according to the neurobiology of athletes with spinal cord injuries (SCI) allowed this piece to be presented at the 2024 ITAA conference and 2024 GSUN conference.
