Dressing aids

If you have limited mobility or dexterity, assistive dressing aids can help you dress yourself, your improving quality of life. Here are some common examples:

  • Sock aids: These help you put on socks without bending, which is good for arthritis, back pain, or hip problems.
  • Stocking aids: They make it easier to put on stockings, especially if you have leg swelling.
  • Button hooks: These tools help you fasten buttons if you have trouble with fine motor skills.
  • Zipper pulls: They make managing zippers much easier, allowing individuals to dress without strain.
  • Dressing sticks: Sticks with hooks help you move clothing, reach hard-to-get areas, and fasten buttons.
  • Magnetic clasps: These are useful for fastening jewellery, making it easier for people with reduced dexterity.
  • Thigh lifters: Assist in putting on pants or trousers without bending too much.
  • Slip lift pants aid: This device helps you put on your trousers without needing to bend over.
  • Doff n’ donner stocking aid: a tool that helps you easily put on and take off compression stockings.
  • Magnetic shoe closures: devices that use magnets to fasten and unfasten shoes instead of traditional shoelaces.
  • Long-Handled Shoehorns: Assist in putting on shoes without bending.

These tools help you to dress by yourself, reduce strain and allow dignity when dressing.
