What constitutes disability clothing?

Clothing for those individuals with disabilities varies based upon the unique needs of the person with the handicap or disability. The disability may be temporary or permanent. The person may need the use of assistive devices such as a wheelchair, walker, crutches, prosthetics or a respirator. They may need assistance with activities of daily living or they may be independent. All of these are considerations that must be accounted for when looking for clothing that will meet the needs of the person with the challenge. Buck and Buck specializes in adaptive, easy to wear clothing for disabled adults.
We have been designing a disability clothing line for over 29 years and have found that our designs offer seniors a feeling of confidence in their ability to self dress for a longer period of time. Generously cut garments with easy to use buttons, zippers and snaps makes the dressing process easier on arms and legs that just don't move as well as they used to. VelcroŽ closures on many of our garments promote independence in dressing for the elderly and we will adapt any of our garments to suit the specific needs of the disabled senior.
When a caregiver is involved in dressing the elderly with a handicap, the disability clothing styles offer simple steps in assisted dressing, and when used as suggested, reduce strain on the caregiver. Our open back and side zip clothing items are very popular with the elderly with disabilities as well as their caregivers. Our selections for women and men are stylish, comfortable and easy to launder.
Buck and Buck has a line of disability clothing suitable for the elderly who are confined to wheelchairs. The hemlines of many of our dresses give extra leg coverage when sitting in a wheelchair. This additional length helps to ensure modesty in our disability clothing. We have coats and shower robes that provide ample coverage and are comfortable for the elderly who must use a wheelchair.
Don't forget to also look at our accessories for wheelchairs and walkers like the shearling arm and hand rests to ease pressure and our selection of walker and wheelchair bags to keep personal items within reach.
