What's Adaptive Clothing?
Adaptive clothing is crafted to simplify daily activities for adults with disabilities and the elderly. Featuring specialized closures and additional functionalities, our garments and accessories restore autonomy to our customers and offer tranquility to their families and caregivers.
Adaptive clothing is tailored for individuals who find traditional clothing challenging to wear due to various reasons. It is particularly beneficial for people with physical disabilities, seniors, or those recovering from surgery who struggle with fasteners or lack the full range of motion required for dressing. Features like innovative buttons, zippers, snaps, hidden magnets, or easy touch closures are incorporated into garments and accessories to ease the dressing process for caregivers, families, and wearers alike.
The distinction between self-dressing and assisted dressing garments lies in the wearer's capabilities. Self-dressing items are designed for individuals who can dress independently but may benefit from certain design elements that streamline the process and reduce frustration or discomfort. Assisted dressing is intended for those who need assistance while dressing. Assisted dressing products facilitate caregivers in dressing individuals swiftly and effortlessly, preserving the dignity of the person being dressed.
The optimal clothing for specific medical conditions depends on the nature of the disability, illness, disease, or recovery phase. For example, our magnetic closures—zippers and buttons—are crafted for individuals with Arthritis, Parkinson’s, or ALS, who have diminished fine motor skills and hand dexterity. Open back tops are created to simplify dressing for someone in a seated, lying down, or standing position, aiding seniors, those with Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, or wheelchair users. Our Shop By Need section categorizes items by specific needs, illnesses, or circumstances for easier selection.
