  • Hey so the last few years I've been teaching myself (c5-6 incomplete quadriplegic) how to dress independently. I've not seen any videos out there really explaining this so I decided to do it myself :)
    Hopefully quads and Paras alike could learn from my techniques if they are struggling! If you have less function than myself don't be disheartened instead try some parts of it. you might surprise yourself!
    Any questions feel free to ask or anything you think I can do better :)

    This is definitely the most detailed video I've seen on this topic! I'm not a quad or even paralysed, but my disability means my hand grip can be very poor at times, so knowing how to do certain tasks with limited and grip is so useful! Also, your core workouts have helped me at the gym and I can now kneel without holding onto anything. A small achievement, perhaps, but it's big for me!

    awe dont put your body down you've got quite a nice one. Well done on the shoes
    Quite informative videos you have. I have an aging mother and it can be helpful to see how you do things that I may have to help her with from time to time in future. Good ways to roll the body from side to side for pants and such.

    @martinball54 5 лет назад

    Great video, as a C6 I find doing it all on the bed far easier. You seem to be struggling with your legs when sat up. Also I always put socks on 1st, helps my jeans slide over the feet easier. I'd never wear elasticated bottoms though, also in 31 years I've never done my laces up. Far easier/quicker to tuck them in on the inside of the foot. Each to their own though. You have the bravery to do these videos, I don't

    I'm not sure how you manage toileting but, do you ever have to pull your trousers up while in your chair? My thighs have some muscle as they spasm so I can't lift them up easily. My lower spine is fused so I can't really lean to pull my trousers up. I end up bending over double and leaning forward to hoist them up to my waist. Does anyone have any better suggestions? Thanks.
