Adaptive clothing is clothing designed to be easily worn by people with disabilities, the elderly, or anyone who may have difficulty dressing themselves due to mobility or dexterity issues. Some common features of adaptive clothing include:
-
Velcro closures instead of buttons or zippers to make it easier to put on and take off.
-
Elastic waistbands or expandable panels to make it easier to put on and take off and to provide a better fit.
-
Large, easy-to-grip buttons or zippers.
-
Seamless or flat-seam construction to reduce irritation.
-
Soft, stretchy fabric to make it more comfortable to wear and easier to move in.
-
Clothing that is easy to put on and take off without having to lift the arms or legs too high.
-
Clothing with easy-to-reach closures, such as those on the front or side of the garment rather than the back.
There are many different types of adaptive clothing available, including tops, bottoms, dresses, and outerwear, as well as specific items like socks, shoes, and underwear.
