Dressing Aids for People with Arthritis

The ability to dress and undress oneself is an essential activity of daily living. Many individuals with limitations in hand dexterity, grasping, reaching, bending over as well as general weakness require some assistive device or accommodation to allow them to dress and undress. By altering some of their clothing and with the use of some assistive devices individuals with limitations can remain independent.

Socks & shoes

Sock aides are used to assist individuals in putting on socks and consist of a plastic section which the sock is put on and a rope attached to the plastic section to allow the person to pull the sock on.

Long-handle shoe horns give individuals assistance in putting on their shoes if they have difficulty bending over.

Another type of elastic shoe laces are called coilers and stay tight without the need to be tied.

Shoe removers allow individuals to easily remove their shoes.

Foot stools may also help individuals who have difficulty bending over as they raise the feet and may make them easier to reach.
