DressingYou are not required to use adaptive equipment to get dressed, however you will determinewith your occupational therapist if such equipment would make getting dressed easier aftersurgery.Always dress the affected leg first and undress it last. Sit on the edge of the bed or in a firmarmchair for dressing.UNDERWEAR AND PANTS1. Using the reacher, hold the underwear at the waistband and bring it toward your affected leg.Slide the leg hole over your foot pulling it up to your knee. You can also gather the leg of theunderwear up and into the clamp of the reacher in order to better see the opening at thebottom of the underwear. While sitting, pull your underwear up above your knees as far asyou can until you are ready to stand.2. Repeat the same process with your pants bringing them to the same height as your underwear.(This way you only have to stand up once to complete the task.) You can also gather the entirepant leg in the reacher clamp in order to better see the opening at the bottom of the pant leg.3. For safety, have your walking aid in front of you and stand up pushing from the bed/armchairuntil you are balanced. Pull up your underwear and pants over your hips.4. To undress, reverse the process, remembering to remove your clothing from the unaffected legfirst.SOCKS / STOCKINGS1. Slide the sock/stocking onto the sock aid until the toe is flush to the bottom of the sock aid.Be sure the top of the sock is not over the top of the sock aid.2. Holding onto the straps of the sock aid, lower the sock aid to the floor in front of your affectedfoot. Slide your foot into the sock aid and pull on both straps until the sock comes up yourleg. Continue to pull on the straps of the sock aid until the sock aide comes completely out ofthe sock. Unhook the sock aid from your leg.3. Put your other sock on the unaffected leg by either bringing your foot up to you or using thesock aid.4.
