Abstract
An adaptive therapeutic garment including but not limited to hooded sweatshirts, crewneck sweatshirts, t-shirts and tank tops and is designed for post-surgical and post-injury recovery. The discreet modification allows the user to maintain use of mainstream clothing, reduce medical stigmatization and accommodate limited range of motion or pain. The garment adaptation location affords the user to move the garment around the injury of the upper extremity. The garments include concealed medial underarm and lateral torso openings with an integrated closure system using snaps or magnets, allowing for one-handed utilization. Limitations may be due to pain or post-surgical healing limitations set by physician, idiopathic and congenital etiology.
