Wearables are computing devices having as support and main source of data the user s body. They are often applied to the health area, associated to care and information mapping of people with some type of special need. The present dissertation is the researcher s unfolded graduation project in Design, where a collection of interactive clothing for a group of IDPs - intellectually disabled persons - was developed. Interest in further research emerged from the music therapist partner s positive positioning, identifying advances in musical, spatial and motor areas of the patients who used the garments. The shortage of body movements as a characteristic aspect of this pathology was observed in the experiment in partnership with the group of IDPs and in the data survey related to the diagnosis. Thus, the present research aims to investigate the relationship between wearables and body dynamics of people with intellectual disabilities. We assume that the wearables developed at IPCEP support the increased body movement of patients. Facing the specific problem identified in a particular context, the work was carried out under the action research method in three iterative cycles where, by introducing intervention objects, the relationship between interactivity in the textile support and the body movement of the group was investigated. From the evidence raised, it was understood that wearables introduced in the context acted mainly as a stimulus to the movements of the upper limbs of the patients under observation, acting as articulated mobilization orthoses.
