BACKGROUND

Adaptive clothing is for people experiencing difficulty dressing themselves due to an inability to manipulate closures, such as buttons and zippers, or due to a lack of a full range of motion required for self-dressing. Adaptive clothes are also designed to help caregivers of people with dementia, by offering rear-closure that can’t be accessed by their care recipients.
