Tips of wearing and taking off the outer with one-hand for stroke survivors

(3.00)

Some stroke survivors DO NOT know tips about wearing and taking off clothes.

Just as clothes change with the season, the types of clothes that bring to the hospital during hospitalization change. I don’t know why, but I heard that one of the stroke survivors said it was difficult to wear outerwear after discharge. I suspected that He/She was hospitalized in the summer, had no chance to wear front-opening outerwear at the hospital, and did not practice wearing it.
Therefore, I think that it is necessary not only to practice depending on the season but also to solve the dressing movements for the whole year during hospitalization from a long-term perspective.

There are several types of outerwear. But this time, I’m going to provide the tips of wearing/taking off the front-opening outerwear. I believe that these tips will be able to apply some wear like white shirts, cardigans, and jackets. In addition, as supplementary things, these tips also will be able to wear/take off the wear even if that clothing is appropriate size not oversized against your physique.

I hope these tips help you.
