2. Task-Specific Dressing Interventions for People with Limitations or Precautions in Lower Extremity Range of Motion
New limitations in physical skill and endurance can create disability in dressing. In this chapter, you will consider how limitations in lower extremity range of motion affect lower body dressing and apply adaptations/modifications to enhance success.
