Paralysis Resource Guide - (Page 241) TOOLS CLOTHING For a person with limited mobility or who may be sitting a great deal of the time, dressing can be a challenge. Off-the-rack clothing presents problems: seams may be placed in areas that could cause skin breakdowns; trousers may not be long enough or may bunch up in the lap; jackets bunch up; buttons and fasteners might not be handy. There are, however, options. Here are several companies that cater to the apparel market for people with paralysis: Ableapparel offers a line of clothing, outerwear and accessories for children and adults; 516-873-6552; www.ableapparel.com Adaptive Clothing offers tops, pants, sleepwear, shoes and custom service.
