Wheelchair fashion
Today I learned about the subject. Wheelchair clothes exist. The examples are here and here.
It is designed in order to :
- help clothing slip on and off from a seated or prone position;
- assist those with arthritis and/or limited dexterity to be easily manipulated and adjusted to suit their needs;
- loose fitting adaptive designs allow for freedom of movement and ease of dressing. Pant designs are generous to allow for extra room for sanitary requirements;
- to provide modesty and yet afford easy transfers;
- to ensure dignity while standing or transferring;
- to withstand the rigors.
