Description
The Maddak Dressing Stick and Shoehorn is a 24 in double-ended tool that pulls clothing on and pushes it off without bending. For dressing after hip or shoulder surgery, the stick handles shirts, pants, socks, and shoes from a seated position.
- Double-End Design – hooks at both ends cover pulling on and pushing off in one tool.
- Plastic-Coated Hooks – the coating grips clothing without snagging fabric.
- 24 in Reach – the length reaches feet and shoulders from a chair.
- Featherweight Build – at 0.31 lb the stick is easy for weak hands to maneuver.
One Stick for Getting Dressed and Undressed Seated
Dressing from a chair after surgery means shirts must come over shoulders without reaching back and pants must travel up legs that cannot bend. This combination stick works both directions, with a hook that pulls garments into place and a small hook that pushes them off. The plastic coating on the hooks grips fabric securely while sliding over delicate material without snags.
At 24 in long the stick also serves as the shoehorn of the combination, guiding heels into shoes from the chair. The all-plastic stick weighs 0.31 lb, which keeps it manageable for users with limited hand strength.

Why a Dressing Stick Earns a Place by the Chair
Dressing is the first independence test of every morning. A stick that pulls on, pushes off, and guides shoes covers the test with one tool kept by the chair. Its light weight matters as much as its length for users rebuilding strength.
- Dress Without Bending – garments travel to the body instead of the body bending to garments.
- Undressing Covered Too – the push hook removes socks and clothing at the end of the day.
- Two Tools Combined – dressing stick and shoehorn functions share one 24 in tool.
- Easy on Weak Hands – 0.31 lb of weight keeps the stick maneuverable.
