Dressing Stick
Dressing Stick is made of a lightweight 5/8-inch diameter hardwood dowel that comes in 24-inch length. It is designed to reduce bending at the hip, for individuals with arthritis or limited upper extremity movement to get dressed. Reinforced with a combination of hook/pusher assists in putting on shirt and jacket, pulling up slacks or removing socks. Hook on the opposite end aids in pulling zippers and shoelace hoops.
Used to Push or Pull Light Objects
Used as a pulling lug to push or pull objects, the lightweight wooden dowel is less than an inch in diameter to help those with weak grip strength and poor hand dexterity. Designed to minimize twisting and reaching, the dressing stick can also help reduce the extent to which the user is required to stretch. At one end it features a soft 'pusher' and at the other end is a specially shaped hook, which helps 'hook' the edge of clothing.
Essential Aid for Restrictive Movement
Coated with smooth vinyl, the dressing hook provides a snag-free push and pull motion to put on or take off any article of clothing, including those with delicate fabrics. The smooth vinyl coating also gently grips the fabric to prevent clothing from slipping off the hook. Dressing Stick is an essential dressing aid for daily tasks, ultimately helping users regain their independence.
