The design for emergency medical personal uniforms should include not only “aesthetics and solidarity” required as uniforms, but also “functionality” necessary for emergency operations. Questionnaires and motion analysis were conducted to understand the current situation and identify problems with the current emergency medical services uniform (pants) to emergency medical services personnel and analysis of their movements during drills. With introduction of materials and textile structures that can follow dynamic motions (e.g., stretch), new designs for emergency medical personal uniforms and its effectiveness by clothing pressure measurement have been investigated. The results showed (1) A larger clothing pressure acts in the crouching exercise than that in the one-leg-raising exercise, (2) The stretchable fabric reduced overall clothing pressure on the lower limbs of the human body during both the one-leg-raising and crouching exercises, (3) The knee tack and the lumbar yoke reduced clothing pressure on the lower limbs of the human body locally.
