The Sock Aid

Hafa Adai Everyone!

The sock aid is a low tech device used as a dressing aid. It is made of durable plastic that conforms with the foot and shin structure. It has two nylon ropes that are fitted with soft padding for handles and a padding in the front to secure the sock. It is a five step process:

l. Secure the sock aid on your lap.(Bottom part facing up)
2. Carefully pull the sock over bottom part of the sock aid. (full length of the sock)
3. Gently grasp the two nylon ropes and place the sock aid in front of the right/left foot.
4. Slowly put your foot into the opening of the sock aid.
5. Pull the sock aid handles simultaneously to secure the sock on your foot.

*Follow the same procedure for the other foot. Good Job!

Question: Can you think of other dress aids that may assist in basic dressing?

I thought this was very simple, yet clever. I know a few people that could use one! Good presentation David!
