AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a system of clothing that allows users to don and remove clothing without the assistance of another person. This increases the user's independence and dignity. The clothing is designed to be easy for people with limited mobility to put on and remove, as it requires less movement and bending. The garments can be secured with pull tabs and connective strips, which are easy for the user to access and remove with limited movement. The connective strips are positioned close to the skin, but the sometimes abrasive connective means do not grate against the skin. In summary, the invention provides a system of clothing that allows for more independence and ease of donning and removal.

Problems solved by technology

For example, an individual may have difficulties using their lower extremities in order to get undergarments or outer garments up the leg openings and over or under the buttock area into a comfortable proper position.
The inability to accomplish this seemingly simple, but very necessary task may be the result of temporary, or permanent, loss of flexibility to the lower extremities.
In addition, these types of articles of clothing lack a design that can assist an individual with dressing him or herself without the aid of a third party.
