The Unbridled Disaster of Getting Dressed as a Wheelchair User
<p>Trying to get dressed when you can’t stand up at all or have difficulty standing or balancing can be one of the most difficult parts of the day for wheelchair user. Those of us who have upper body control and to some measure of strength have it a little bit easier. Paraplegics might be able to maneuver their legs a little bit better since they’re usually completely limp, but they also often have no feeling. That means if something in their clothing is poking them or catching on a toe, they may not realize it. As for me, I have a considerable amount of spasticity in my legs, which means they sometimes don’t like to bend. This is not a benefit when you’re trying to put on pants. I’ve never tried to put pants on or take them off of someone else, but I imagine this can be a challenge for caregivers as well.</p>
