Clothes made for wheelchair users must be suitable for the unique needs of the wearers.
No matter what occasion you need the clothes for, work, recreation or general wear; you need clothes that look and feel good.
As the well known saying goes, “if you look good, you will feel good”.
Everyone has the right to wear stunning comfy clothes, being in a wheelchair does not mean you have to settle for anything less.
Clothing adaptions needed for wheelchair users.
Your posture will determine how your clothing will hang.
When you are seated you will observe that clothing made for non wheelchair users will bunch at the back and waist.
Garments than hang near the brakes or wheels, can be very hazardous.
Shirts can be made too tight around the shoulder area. This restricts the arm movements, not good when arms are needed to be able to operate the wheelchair.
As you can see, clothing needs to be cut differently to ensure, mobility, independence and safety.
What to look out for.
One thing to make sure you do is to buy from a company that specializes in making adaptive clothing, especially for wheelchair users.
Specialist companies will completely understand the adaptions needed.
There has never been a better time to buy fantastic products. There is abundance available.
