Nice but…. I recently ordered this dressing stick. The occupational therapist came to show me how to use it. On first use, the end rotated in the socket. The product is well made and useful.

Because I had to make the simple repair, I give it 4.
A necessity for independence after back surgery I had spinal fusion surgery a few weeks ago and am unable to bend over to do things like put on or take off socks, underwear, etc. I find this stick in combination with my grabber stick invaluable. I use the hook to help when I’m lifting up pants or underwear and I use the other end to help push off pants, socks, underwear, etc. There are lots of videos on youtube or just a google search to show you how to use this stick depending upon what your issue is (i.e. shoulder, back, etc.) and I strongly recommend watching one or two to get the hang of it. This will not help you with getting socks on your feet though – you should get a sock aid for that.

I’ve only kept it because I absolutely needed it despite what the problem with it although it is something that should have been returned so that I can obtain another. I still might do it.(After writing the above review I sent further clarification which I do not see added yet so I will try to rewrite it again in all justice to the seller)I originally gave this three stars because of the problem as detailed above. After posting the review I realized that the seller wanted take care of any problem and I had not yet been in touch with the seller a chance to resolve my problem. Once I did they immediately offered to send me a replacement without having to return the defective item. Now I can honestly give the product 5 stars as well as 5 stars to…
