Sock Aid & Long Handle Shoe Horn Kit | NDIS Dressing Aid

Restore independence to your morning routine with the MobiliAid Sock Aid and Long Handle Shoe Horn Kit. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this complete dressing solution is specifically designed to support NDIS participants recovering from hip or knee surgery, living with chronic back pain, or managing reduced flexibility.

Bending down to put on socks and shoes is one of the most challenging daily tasks and a frequent cause of falls or dizziness in the bedroom. This kit resolves that barrier by eliminating the need to bend at the waist. The terry-cloth sock aid holds socks open for easy foot entry without slipping, while the multi-functional dressing stick extends up to 90cm. This allows users to pull up pants, guide shoes on, or push socks off without ever breaking hip precautions or overextending, fostering dignity and autonomy in personal care.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Adhering to Hip Precautions: Essential for post-operative participants who are medically restricted from bending their hips past 90 degrees, preventing dislocation and injury.

• Fall Prevention: Eliminates the need to balance on one foot or bend over while seated, significantly reducing the risk of toppling or dizziness during dressing.

• Energy Conservation: Reduces the physical effort and breathlessness associated with struggling to reach feet, allowing energy to be preserved for other daily activities.

• Promoting Independence: Enables the participant to dress themselves fully without relying on a support worker or family member for shoes and socks.

Key Features & Benefits

• Non-Slip Sock Aid: Features a terry cloth outer layer that grips the sock firmly to prevent it from sliding off the tool, while the nylon interior allows the foot to slide in smoothly.

• 90cm Extendable Reach: The dressing stick/shoe horn can be assembled at 57cm for seated use or 90cm for standing use, adapting to the user's specific mobility needs.

• 3-Finger Flex Design: The sock aid utilizes a flexible three-finger core that contours to the heel and foot, ensuring it works effectively with various foot sizes and sock types.

• Multi-Functional S-Hook: The handle features a specialized hook for pushing socks off, pulling up pants, or retrieving clothing from the floor without bending.

• Travel-Friendly Assembly: The long handle disassembles easily, allowing the entire kit to be packed into a suitcase for holidays or hospital stays.
