Paris 2023 - Make Etienne's dressing easier
The challenge
Etienne would like to dress himself more quickly and easily, and feel more confident in his movement by being able to trust that his tops will not move around or get caught.
Who it helps
Etienne has limited use of his upper limbs, and no fine finger motion. He has two requests: a more efficient way to dress to reduce the effort required from his caregiver and himself, and a way to secure his tops from riding up or getting caught in wheels.
How it works
Dressing: to do.
Secure tops: the tops are secured while still allowing freedom of movement and discretion - loops are not visible from the exterior.
Dressing: a roller system to offer more independence and efficiency.
Secure tops: a discreet, reusable, modular loop system made by a seamstress in order to attach top backs to a belt and/or belt loop.
