A Method for Dressing Hosiery on a Person

Abstract

A method for dressing hosiery on a person with reduced mobility. The method includes: placing the person with reduced mobility in a supine position on an underlying surface, elevating the knee of a leg of the person, sliding a roller support in under the elevated knee so that a first free-rolling roller of the roller support is placed substantially under the elevated knee and so that a second free-rolling roller of the roller support is placed substantially under the calf of the leg. The first free-rolling roller and the second free-rolling roller are interconnected through a base of the roller support. The base has a support face resting on the underlying surface. The method further includes: lowering the knee until the leg rests on the first free-rolling roller and the second free-rolling roller, and sliding or rolling the hosiery onto the leg so that at least a part of the hosiery slides or rolls between the leg and at least the second free-rolling roller.
