Sock Aids and Stocking Aids

Arthritis and other joint and mobility health problems can bring about a severe loss of personal independence in performing daily tasks like dressing, wearing shoes, pulling up a sock or stockings which are both necessary and important to keep ourselves warm and comfortable all year round.

This is where specially designed sock and stocking aids come in handy and provide much relief to the aged and partially immobile. Stocking aids and sock aids are also helpful for those who are recovering from surgery of the hip or knee or have severe back problems. Sock and stocking aids make it easy to put on a sock or  stockings without painful bending at the waist. Sock and stocking aids are robustly designed and made from lightweight fabric. Sock or stocking aids have specially designed handles that can help those who have a weak grasp to pull up a sock using the movement of their wrists. Some sock aids and stocking aids have cords that help pulling up a sock. They are available in a wide variety.

Some sock and stocking aids are specially designed for compression stockings that are worn by people suffering from tired aching legs, varicose veins, or lymphedema to help blood circulation.  Such sock aids have grooves that catch the compression stocking and help to prevent it from popping off during the process of wearing. These kinds of sock aids help putting on compression stocking or anti-embolism stocking easily and evenly. Combination sock aids are made from moulded plastic and do not require bending.  They have a gutter piece that holds the garment and a handle with a hole to facilitate easy storage. Such sock aids also have a shoehorn that helps to easily remove the stockings.

Though stocking aids require practice, most people who require them are determined to make the required efforts that will foster independence and give them a sense of pride with the self-help they encourage.  Most sock and stocking aids come in specific sizes and are easily washable. When looking for such aids seek out those that are specifically suited for the user in question.
