Dressing Aid – Adaptive Clothing Hook

A simple 3D-printed assistive device designed to make everyday dressing easier and more accessible.

This adaptive dressing aid is designed to help people with disabilities, reduced mobility, limited hand function or other physical limitations perform everyday dressing activities more independently.

The ergonomic design allows the hand to pass through the main opening, while the two smaller holes provide dedicated positions for the thumbs. This helps improve grip, stability and control when using the tool.

The specially shaped hook at the end is designed to catch and hold clothing material, making it easier to pull, adjust and position garments during dressing.

Features

• Ergonomic design for a comfortable and stable grip.
• Two dedicated thumb openings for improved control.
• Large central opening for inserting the hand.
• Specially shaped hook for gripping and pulling clothing.
• Lightweight and reusable construction.
• Easy to manufacture using a standard FDM 3D printer.

Who can benefit from this device?

This tool may be particularly useful for:

• People with physical disabilities.
• Individuals with limited hand or arm mobility.
• People with reduced grip strength or dexterity.
• Elderly people who experience difficulties with everyday dressing.
• Anyone looking for additional independence when getting dressed.

Purpose

The main goal of this project is to support independence, improve accessibility and make everyday activities a little easier for people who face physical challenges

Note: This is an assistive aid, not a certified medical device. Always use it carefully and adapt its use to individual needs and abilities.
