Order this at the suggestion of Occupational Therapy. Mainly it was to help me get my socks on which it does do but it is become handy in so many other ways. A must for somebody who's going to be homebound for a while and limited.

I just had hip surgery a month ago I'm not allowed to bend over and this tool helped me get dressed with ease

Too heavy! Screw connection comes loose. Have put glue on mine to keep it together.Proportions of the stick and hooks/are made for giants. If you are a small person with bad hands stay away from this product.

The dressing stick is good for help with socks or other pieces of clothing. I have a problem with my left shoulder. I drive a car and sometimes it is hard for me to pull the car door closed. But now I use the dressing stick and I pull the door closed without any problem. HELPFUL HINTS

I needed a second "stick" for traveling. I've needed to use an assistive dressing device for about 10 years and this one is perfect. It matches the same original one I was given after my first orthopedic surgery.

For years I struggled to use a stepladder to get my clothes off the upper racks of my walk in closet or I had to rely on others to get them down for me. A few month ago I saw a dressing stick at a store and I knew I had to get one for me. Such a simple tool, but it makes getting the hangers up or down with little effort. I can also use the stick to get some of the smaller (fabric) bins, which have a handle in the front, off the upper shelves, but it's a little more difficult to get them back up with the stick. However, it gets easier with practice.If you have really tall racks/shelves, this stick might be too short, but for rooms with 8 or 9 ft. ceilings, this stick is just the right size.I have also used the stick for other tasks, like putting the pull cord from blinds on a hook that is out of my reach (some of my blinds stay down all the time, so I tie the pull cord together and hang the cord on a hook out of the way (and out of reach of pets and kids).

Helpful getting clothes on with limited use of arms.

When I received it the first thing I thought was this isn’t much to it. But it really helps when you can’t bend over to pick anything up. It’s a lot of help.
