Frequently Bought Together

Maintain independence in your morning routine and eliminate the need to bend with the Flexible Sock Aid. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this simple yet effective dressing tool is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Arthritis, back pain, hip replacements, or limited flexibility.

Reaching down to the feet is often the most difficult part of getting dressed and a common cause of dizziness or falls. This aid features a flexible plastic core lined with nylon, allowing the foot to slide in effortlessly without friction. The outer layer is covered in textured terry cloth to grip the sock firmly, preventing it from slipping off the tool before it is on the foot. With two long webbing straps featuring loop handles, it allows users to pull their socks up from a seated position with minimal effort, reducing strain on the spine and hips.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

  • Fall Prevention:Eliminates the need to bend over at the waist or balance on one leg, significantly reducing the risk of toppling or dizziness during dressing tasks.

  • Joint Protection:Adheres to post-operative hip precautions (preventing bending past 90 degrees) and reduces strain on the lower back and knees.

  • Promoting Independence:Enables the participant to put on socks independently without relying on a support worker or family member for assistance.

  • Fine Motor Support:The large loop handles allow users with weak grip or poor finger dexterity to pull the device up using their arms and wrists rather than fingers.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Friction-Free Nylon Interior:The smooth blue nylon lining ensures the foot glides into the sock easily without dragging against the skin.

  • Non-Slip Terry Cloth Exterior:The textured outer surface holds the sock in place on the device, ensuring it doesn't bunch up or slide off prematurely.

  • Flexible Core:The pliable plastic plate bends to contour around the heel and foot, suitable for various foot widths and sizes.

  • Long Webbing Straps:Extended handles allow the user to pull the sock on from a comfortable seated position without over-reaching.

  • Loop Handles:Designed for users with Arthritis or limited hand strength, the loops are easy to hook with fingers or palms for a secure pull.
