Brace Essentials
It's not just clothes that one needs to think about when wearing a brace. Here's a list of the key essentials that I've needed as I have gone along. I tend to use Essential Aids but there are several sites that the public can use to buy things that your occupational therapist may not be able to source for you - NRS Healthcare is another one I've used.
Hand Grip Reacher
I can't bend down with the brace so I've invested in a couple of hand reachers to pick up things I drop! I also use them for household chores - you may be surprised at how well they work when filling the washing machine!
They're fairly inexpensive and will prevent over-stretching or pulling the back and spine, so definitely well worth an investment. |
