Regain independence in your morning routine and eliminate the barrier of manual shoe tying with RJ-Sport Tieless Elastic Laces. Classified as low cost assistive technology, these adaptive laces are specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with arthritis, Cerebral Palsy, dyspraxia, or limited upper limb mobility who find standard laces a source of daily frustration.
Traditional shoelaces require a complex "pincer grasp" and significant fine motor manipulation, which can be painful or impossible for many users. The RJ-Sport system replaces these with high-grade elastic rubber and a secure, heavy-duty locking capsule. Once installed, the shoes are permanently transformed into slip-ons, allowing the user to slide their feet in and out effortlessly. This not only promotes self-care autonomy but also addresses a critical safety concern by ensuring laces never come loose, effectively mitigating the risk of trips and falls for participants with gait or balance challenges.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
-
Fine Motor Compensation: Removes the requirement for complex finger dexterity and the repetitive "bow-tying" motion, enabling participants with tremors or weak grip strength to manage their footwear independently.
-
Safety & Fall Prevention: The industrial-strength locking capsule ensures that tension remains constant throughout the day, preventing loose laces—a major trip hazard for participants with mobility aids.
-
Edema & Circulation Support: The high-grade elastic material adapts to the foot's natural expansion and contraction throughout the day. This is vital for participants prone to foot swelling (edema) or those with diabetes who require footwear that does not restrict blood flow.
-
Sensory Regulation: Provides a consistent, secure fit across the bridge of the foot, eliminating the sensory discomfort of "bunching" laces or pressure points caused by unevenly tightened knots.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Heavy-Duty Locking System: Engineered with a robust tension-lock button, ensuring the laces stay secure during intense movement, physical therapy sessions, or daily walking.
-
Customizable Tension: Features an adjustable button that allows the user to fine-tune the tightness on-the-fly, providing a "perfect fit" experience that supports foot stability.
-
Universal Trim-to-Fit: At 120cm in length, these laces can be customized to fit any shoe size, from children's school shoes to adult ankle-top boots, by simply trimming the excess.
-
Slip-On Independence: Reduces the need to bend over for extended periods, preserving the user's back and hip health while speeding up the dressing process.
-
Professional Durability: Made with high-grade elastic rubber, these laces provide a reliable, long-term solution that maintains its stretch and integrity over time.
