There is provided a shoe tie-assisting device that allows a user to position themselves such that they can tie their own shoes. The shoe tie assisting device includes a frame assembly that includes support columns spaced to create a geometric space between them. The support columns are connected with support bars. The shoe tie-assisting device further includes a platform assembly positioned in the geometric space between the support columns. The platform assembly allows a user to place one of their feet thereon. The shoe tie-assisting device further includes a handle assembly having one or more components that the user can grasp. This component(s) are positioned at height that a user can grasp them from an upright position without having to bend over. Using the platform assembly and handle assembly, a user can position their body such that they can tie their own shoes.

Devices and methods for assisting a user to don and remove a compression sock from the user's leg. The device includes a base, at least two side members secured to the base on opposite sides thereof, and multiple arms extending from the base in a direction along the longitudinal axis and between the side members. Each of the arms has a midpoint that curves inward toward the longitudinal axis of the device, and terminates at a distal end. The arms in combination form a composite shape that has a midportion that curves inward toward a longitudinal axis of the device to define a neck, defines an interior that is surrounded by the midportions of the arms and within which the longitudinal axis of the device is disposed, and defines an opening surrounded by the distal ends of the arms.

An apparatus for assisting with the application of a garment. The apparatus may be embodied as an apparatus for assisting with the application of a tubular garment, such as a bandage or sock, including compression bandages, compression socks, support bandages and support socks, or may be embodied as a tubular garment application tool. The apparatus comprises two substantially parallel spaced-apart elongate arms and is reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the elongate arms are substantially coplanar and a second configuration in which the elongate arms substantially oppose, or at least partly face, each other.

A paw sock horn device with a tapered bottom, two tapered sidewalls, and a handle, made of a flexible material such as plastic or steel, wherein the two tapered sidewalls can be folded inward allowing for easy ingress into the elastic cuff of a paw sock that when released force open and hold open, the cuff allowing for easy ingress of the dog's paw into the paw sock. Then simply pull gently on the handle to remove the paw sock horn leaving the sock in place on the dog's paw.

An undergarment positioner apparatus for assistance putting on undergarments includes a ring body having an outer side, an inner side, a first end, and a second end. The ring body is semi-rigid and elastically bendable into a circular position with the first end overlapping the second end. A first engagement member is coupled to the outer side of the ring body adjacent the first end and a second engagement member is coupled to the inner side of the ring body adjacent the second end. The first and second engagement members are selectively engageable to maintain the ring body in the circular position. A waistband of the undergarment is folded around the ring body in the circular position before being stepped into.

Cuff frames and garments with cuff frames configured to receive an arm, a wrist, and a hand of a wearer. The cuff frames include a wall extending along and radially spaced from a longitudinal axis. The wall defines a wrist portion, a hand portion, and an arm portion. The wrist portion is radially spaced from the longitudinal axis at a first distance to define a wrist opening. The hand portion is longitudinally adjacent to the wrist portion and flares outwards from the wrist portion. The arm portion is longitudinally adjacent to the wrist portion opposite the hand portion and flares outwards from the wrist portion. The first distance is selected to enable the hand and the wrist of the wearer to pass through the wrist opening.

The present invention relates to an apparatus (800) arranged for facilitating donning a garment (52) comprising a cuff on a part of a human body. The apparatus (800) comprises a at least one cuff opening arrangement (600, 700) arranged to open a cuff of a garment (52). The at least one cuff opening arrangement (600, 700) comprises a first (100) and a second (200) cuff opening assembly, each comprising a first (110, 210) and a second (120, 220) arm which are arranged to rotate around a first (GA1) and a second (GA2) geometrical axis, respectively. When the first (110, 210) and second (120, 220) arms are inserted into a cuff of the garment (52) and rotated around the first (GA1) and second (GA2) geometrical axes, respectively, the first (110, 210) and second (120, 220) arms are separated such that the cuff of the garment (52) is expanded. Thereby, facilitating donning the garment (52) on a part of a human body.

An apparatus for donning socks includes: a substantially horizontal base; an elongated U-shaped, semi-cylindrical caddy on which a sock positioned inside out is fittable and into an interior of which a foot is insertable; and a tilt unit coupled to the semi-cylindrical caddy and pivotally connected to a head portion of the base. The semi-cylindrical caddy includes two elongated slider channels, that allow a handle assembly of the apparatus to slide back-and-forth within the elongated slider channels. The handle assembly includes a telescopic right-side rod and a generally-parallel telescopic left-side rod, which are interconnected by a generally-horizontal fixed-size bridge handle.
