Adaptive clothing makes dressing can be easier for Arthritis and reduced mobility, strength and dexterity

Unfortunately as Arthritis progresses, dressing can become more and more difficult. Managing buttons and fiddly zips, bending and twisting can all become a challenge. Designed to Care is committed to providing you with adaptive arthritis clothing solutions that preserve your independence – our ‘easy grip’ side zips, pop-fasteners and wrap around designs all make dressing oneself easier. While our open back clothes especially suit people who are now assisted with dressing or immobile thus reducing the need for them to raise arms, stand, twist or be lifted.

Dressing tips for Arthritis

Dress sitting down

Wear looser clothes or better still, wear clothes that have been adapted to offer wide arm and leg openings but still hang like ‘normal fitting’ clothes

Say goodbye to buttons – go for Velcro, zips, pop-fasteners and elastic waisted clothes. They will save you time and frustration
