Rehabilitation and physical therapy play an essential role in helping seniors and people with disabilities improve their overall well-being. However, dressing up can be a significant challenge for them, affecting their rehabilitation and physical therapy outcomes. Thankfully, adaptive clothing has been developed to address this challenge.
In this blog, EasyWear™ Adaptive Clothing Inc. will explore the impact of adaptive clothing on rehabilitation and physical therapy outcomes and how finding the best Canadian-made suppliers and designers of adaptive/disability clothing can make a significant difference.

Fashion has the power to empower and transform individuals, regardless of their age, size, shape, or ability. However, for disabled adults, finding clothes that fit well and feel comfortable can be a frustrating and challenging task. Many mainstream fashion brands tend to overlook the needs of people with disabilities, leaving them with limited choices that may not suit their style, body type, or functional requirements.

For most of us, getting dressed is a basic task that we perform every day without any struggle. However, this task poses some difficulty for people with physical difficulties, the elderly, and the infirm. Adaptive clothing is designed to combat these problems by replacing buttons and zippers with velcro or magnet closures. Most adaptive garments follow an easy, slip-on, or rear closure design to make dressing easier for not only the wearer but also the care provider. It gives the wearer a sense of comfort and promotes self-esteem.
