Abstract

<p>  The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the putting on and taking off of clothes in 20 children three years of age. The investigation period was nine months. We analyzed the movement patterns of subjects and the support of kindergarten teachers.</p><p>  The results are as follows:</p><p>  (1) The movements of taking their arms out of sleeves, pulling clothes over their heads and draping clothes over their shoulders were aided by their kindergarten teachers. These movements are difficult for three-year-old children.</p><p>  (2) When the children took off a polo shirt and a knitted shirt, their first movement was to take their arms out of the sleeves. The children took off their clothes in several different ways until they learned the best one, after which time the movement pattern remained the same.</p><p>  (3) Before putting on clothes that needed to be draped over their shoulders, the children first examined the form of the garment. This suggested that moving clothes behind their back was difficult.</p><p>  (4) The posture of the children when putting on and taking off lower wear changed from sitting to standing and while unsupported or leaning on a table during the investigation period. It was confirmed that posture is related to the development of balance control in children.</p>
