Abstract
We wear clothes that may restrict our movement, but at that time, clothing pressure will occur between our body surface and the clothes. The advantages and disadvantages of this clothing pressure were introduced and described the points to keep in mind to use it well for producing support wear. In addition, the merits and demerits of clothing pressure measuring methods from the past to the present are described, and the adequacy of current methods of use and future trends are also described. In order to make comfortable support wear using these measuring methods, it is important also to know the various functions of the human somatosensory and autonomic nervous system. Using this information, the support wear currently produced was also introduced.
