I have severe Neuropathy in my hands and feet, because of this I have terrible problems handling things. I was introduced to this by a friend who bought one because she has problems bending. The reason I purchased 2 was because I have pal who has respiratory problems and requires his wife to assist in putting his socks on. I only wish I had known about this item some time ago. It is of great value to me. Thank you for a rapid response to my order. A Ramsay.
