Aid in putting on socks

Mom2Dogs · ‎03-09-2010

My husband's arthritis in his hip is making it difficult to raise (bend) his leg to put on his socks.

I have seen on line 'sock aids' that will help him, with out my assistance.

There are a lot to choose from.

If anyone has a recommendation of one product over another I would appreciate feedback.

thanks,

@Mom2Dogs I hope you get help with that. "Little" things like that make life frustrating and difficult.

@Sooner Yes it does, and when he needs me to help put on one sock, I am not always available.

@Mom2Dogs If you go to Amazon and type in help to putting socks on, they have a few options . They are relatively inexpensive.

I had 2 hip replacements in 2023. The RMS sock puller was a lifesaver for me. Purchased on Amazon.

@elated Yes I did look there before posting, hoping that I would get a response from someone that uses a specif one. Thanks

@irbrenda. Thanks for the brand name to look at.

I did take a look and watched the video. I noticed in the video the model is putting on a short sock...like something worn in a sneaker. The video shows taking off a taller sock.

My husband wears a taller sock but not a knee sock like I wear.

Do you think what you recommended is going to work with a taller sock?

I wish the doctor would have given him an exercise for getting his leg/knee raised up for grooming purposes.

@Mom2Dogs. 8 can't bend my right knee and couldn't get my knee high compression socks on. I recently bought this gadget and found it extremely difficult to use. After repeatedly trying, I finally ditched the whole thing. It requires dexterity and strength. I don't know what would work.
