Dressing Stick with Shoe Horn

Getting dressed can become frustrating when reaching a heel, a sock cuff or the back of a jacket takes more effort than it used to. This dressing stick brings those small jobs within a longer reach, with a curved double hook at one end and a broad shoehorn at the other. Use the hook to guide clothing into place or ease a sock down, then turn the stick around to help your heel slide into a shoe. The shaft screws together in sections and comes apart for storage, so it can stay beside a chair at home or travel in smaller pieces. Its manual design keeps the routine simple, with no batteries to charge and no controls to learn. Hold the end that suits the task and work gently, keeping the hook clear of skin and delicate fabric. Tighten the joints before each use and stop if the movement feels uncomfortable. This is a dressing tool, so never use it to support body weight or steady yourself while walking. Keep it near your usual dressing spot and make shoes, socks and clothing a little easier to reach.
