How the Restricted Movement Collection works
Restricted movement collection is designed for those who have a limited range of movement or who need assistance when dressing. They are fully back opening and can be put on the wearer with only minimal movement of the arms. The wearer can be assisted into the garment when standing, sitting or while lying in bed. All restricted movement garments worn on the upper body are also available in a standard fitting i.e. dresses, shirts, tops, jackets, nightwear, etc.

Vest style 4001
Stage 1: holding the open garment in front of the wearer. Assist the wearers arms into the garment. Feeding the arms into the sleeves There is no need for shoulder manipulation. Stage 2: Holding both collar sections take (in example) the right collar around behind the neck, the generous back of the garment follows to drape across the wearers back. Stage 3: Thread the collar through the opening in the left shoulder seam. (this action helps to keep the garment flat across the back and sit well at the shoulders, it also helps secure the garment along with the fastening method).
Stage 4: Take the other collar behind the neck, again the generous back of the garment will drape across the wearers back, providing a double layer, for protection, warmth and discretion. Stage 5: Bring each collar section forward. Stage 6: Botton collar down.
