Backaches are common in older people, and they make simple tasks in everyday life difficult. Dressing is a task that the elderly require assistance. Conversely, it is better being done by oneself to remain in a private space, gain emotional comfort, and build up a sense of pride by dressing independently.

Sit and Slip-on is an equipment designed to help ageing people who have backache problems and those who have back pain, such as people who have back pain during post-surgery rehabilitation, to dress independently.

​

Attaching to the user’s comfortable chair, Sit and Slip-on blends in with users’ daily lives. The sliding mechanism makes it easy to use and provides a posture that does not require back-bending action at all. Also, this will promote safe behaviour in elderhood by dressing on the chair.
