Frequently asked questions
Does this aid help with limited mobility?
Yes, the AliMed Sock/Stocking Aid is specifically engineered to promote independence. It is perfect for individuals recovering from hip or knee surgery, those with arthritis, or anyone with back pain who finds bending difficult.
Do I need to bend over to use it?
No, you do not. The 24-inch handle length allows you to pull your socks on easily while remaining in a comfortable, seated position, which minimizes the need for reaching or bending your back.
Can it be used with different types of socks?
Yes. The semi-rigid, contoured shell is designed to hold the sock or stocking open, allowing your foot to slide in effortlessly. It works well with most standard sock types and hosiery.
Is this suitable for post-surgery recovery?
Absolutely. This tool is highly recommended for those recovering from hip or knee surgery, as it allows you to maintain your recovery protocols by avoiding unnecessary bending or twisting during daily dressing.
What is the best way to use this safely?
For maximum safety and control, we recommend using the device while seated on a stable chair or bed. Ensure you are steady before sliding your foot into the shell to pull your sock on.
Is the grip comfortable to hold?
Yes, each of the long, durable cords is finished with a sleek, black foam handle. These handles are designed to be ergonomic and easy to grasp, even for those with limited hand strength.

Is it durable for daily use?

Will the shell hold a sock open easily?
The 4 x 9-1/2 inch shell is specifically shaped to keep the fabric of your sock or stocking held open, creating a wide enough path for your foot to glide in smoothly.
