Adaptive clothing for prosthetic limb users

People who use prosthetic limbs may not only need clothing adaptations that aid with getting dressed, but they also have to consider clothing options that accommodate fluctuations in residual limb size. They also need to consider wear and tear in areas the prosthetic joint rubs on the clothing.

Buck & Buck caters to the various needs of people with limb loss. For example, they can modify the sleeve length of shirts and dresses, as well as the leg length of pants. They can also insert zippers into pant legs to give the user easy access to a prosthetic leg.

No Limbits offers pants designed for comfort. Some notable features include extra space to accommodate a prosthetic limb and hidden zippers allowing users to access their prostheses easily. The brand also sells pants made with reinforced fabric to withstand the wear and tear caused by wearing a prosthetic leg.

Tommy Hilfiger Adaptive line makes dressing easier for people with limb loss. Men who use upper-limb prostheses may find ease and comfort with Tommy Hilfiger's Regular Fit Colorblock Shirt with Removable Sleeves. And for women who use leg prostheses or braces, the brand has the Colorblock Denim Jogger, featuring an elastic waistband and zippers along the lower legs.
