Your therapist ticks the steps that apply to you.

  1. 1Sit in a firm chair, or on the edge of the bed, with your feet flat on the floor.
  2. 2Lay out your clothes in the order you will put them on.
  3. 3Dress your weaker or sore arm or leg first.
  4. 4For a shirt: put the weaker arm in the sleeve, pull the shirt over your head, then put in the stronger arm.
  5. 5For pants: cross your weaker leg over your other knee, put the pants over that foot, then the other foot. Stand to pull them up, holding something steady.
  6. 6Use a button hook, zipper pull or elastic laces if your therapist gave you one.
  7. 7Undress in the opposite order: stronger arm or leg first.
