Frequently Asked Questions:

What is adaptive clothing?

Adaptive clothing is designed for those who are unable to wear traditional clothing and apparel for a variety of reasons. Adaptive designs may be needed for people who have physical disabilities, the elderly or those in recovery from surgery. They may have difficulty getting themselves dressed because of an inability to operate fasteners, or loss of full range of motion needed to dress themselves. Our innovative buttons, zippers, snaps, hidden magnets or easy touch closures are added to apparel and accessories to simplify the dressing experience for the caregiver, family and wearer.

Who can wear adaptive clothing?

Seniors with physical disabilities, wheelchair users, elderly with limited mobility and the infirm who may have difficulty dressing without assistance can benefit from adaptive wear. Silverts Adaptive clothing line is for those individuals who need struggle-free and pain-free dressing options. For seniors, one of the main difficulties in dressing is not being able to fasten buttons or zippers due to loss of fine motor skills and movement with hands and fingers so materials such as hook and loop fasteners, easy access snaps, side zippers, and stretchy fabrics are used to provide solutions for self dressing or undressing.

What adaptive clothing options are there? Are there certain types for medical conditions?

Adaptive clothing features open back functionality in tops, side open designs in pants, hidden magnetic snap fasteners instead of conventional buttons and easy touch closures in footwear. All these helpful features enable seniors or disabled people to dress with dignity, comfort and style. Adaptive apparel, footwear and accessories are each designed to support or provide comfort to a particular disability, illness, disease or recovery period. For instance our magnetic closures–zippers and buttons–are designed for someone with Arthritis, Parkinson’s or ALS, where fine motor skills and hand dexterity is lessened. While open back tops were developed to make it easier to dress someone from a seated, laying down or standing position. This can be helpful to most seniors and elderly, as well as those with Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis or wheelchair users.
