Frequently Bought Together
Master your morning routine and dress with independence using the HealthSmart Dressing Aid PocketDresser. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this compact multi-tool is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Arthritis, fine motor limitations, Parkinson’s, or reduced hand dexterity.
Fiddly buttons, stiff zippers, and tight shoelaces are often the biggest barriers to independent dressing. This innovative device acts like a "Swiss Army Knife" for clothing, combining four essential tools into one foldable unit. It eliminates the need for a tight pinch grip or complex finger manipulation, allowing users to secure shirts, pants, and shoes using gross motor leverage. With a secure hand strap to prevent dropping, it empowers participants to dress themselves at home or adjust clothing while out in the community without needing assistance.

Joint Protection: Reduces the strain on small finger joints (DIP/PIP) by converting the fine motor task of buttoning into a gross motor pulling motion, reducing pain for arthritis sufferers.

Fine Motor Support: The specialized hooks manipulate small fastenings that are otherwise impossible for users with tremors or neuropathy to handle.
-
Facilitating Community Access: The pocket-sized, foldable design ensures the user has support for toileting or adjusting coats while away from home.
