{{Refimprove|date=March 2009}}Adaptive clothing is clothing designed for people with physical disabilities, the elderly, and the infirm who may experience difficulty dressing themselves due to an inability to manipulate closures, such as buttons and zippers, or due to a lack of a full range of motion required for self-dressing. Adaptive clothing typically offers rear-closure designs so that an individual can be dressed more easily by a carer. For example, rather than buttons and zippers, Velcro may be used for garment closures.[1] A common misconception of adaptive clothing is that it is only for wheelchair users or others that suffer from severe disabilities. Whilst these groups do benefit from the garments, adaptive clothing is for anyone that can be limited by traditional clothing. [2]

Clothing for special needs

Adaptive clothing is specialised clothing that is modified to enable easier dressing for people with a disability. The clothing is modified to help people with a high degree of disability and their carers or to assist individuals with a lower degree of disability to dress independently.[3]

Adaptive clothing can benefit people of all ages with disorders or natural ageing such as the following:

  • Arthritis
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
  • Oedema
  • Incontinence
  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Parkinson's Disease
  • Stroke
  • Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
  • Brain Injury
  • Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
  • Contractures

Adaptive clothing typically incorporates flat seams to reduce friction, and discreet adaptations to make the clothing look as consistent with fashion norms as possible, including: easy access snaps, Velcro, stretchy fabric, roomy design to accommodate incontinence aids, longer rise in the back to accommodate sitting in wheelchairs, and elastic waist for increased comfort and easier dressing.

Examples

Special Need Associated Problem Adaptive Clothing Solution
Alzheimer's Disease Individual disrobes at inappropriate times. Locking Clothing
Oedema Swelling of feet and legs leads to difficulty wearing conventional footwear or pants. Adaptive Shoes and pants are adjustable in size and offer non-restrictive closures.
Incontinence Reduced bladder control and urgency Clothing that can be removed easily and quickly and can accommodate incontinence aids discreetly and comfortably.
Parkinson's Disease and Arthritis Loss of fine motor skills Buttons and zippers are replaced with easy touch Velcro or magnetic closures.
Contractures, Arthritis, MS, MDS, SCI, MD, Paraplegia, QuadriplegiaInability to bend muscles or move jointsOpen back clothing which allows the clothing to be put on frontwards, eliminating the need to bend or rotate muscles or joints.

Magnetic Closures

For individuals suffering from Parkinson's and other disabilities that affect motor skills, magnetic closures have emerged as a great solution across multiple garments. The original technology was developed by MagnaReady and was patented in December of 2015.[4] The technology was licensed for numerous lines of adaptive clothing by brands including Van Heusen and MagnaClick.[5][6] Magnetic closures again came to the forefront of adaptive clothing when Tommy Hilfiger featured magnetic closures prominently in the launch of their adaptive clothing line in the Spring of 2018.[7] Silvert's Adaptive Clothing & Footwear also carry magnetic closure dress shirts for both men and women.[8]
