A button looper, zipper pull, and long-handled shoehorn are examples of which category of adaptive equipment commonly used in SCI rehabilitation?

• A. Transfer aids
• B. Communication devices
• C. Dressing aids
• D. Respiratory devices

Answer: (C)

These tools are designed to help with clothing-related tasks, enabling independent dressing when grip or range of motion is limited. A button looper reduces the need to manipulate small buttons, a zipper pull makes zipping easier, and a long-handled shoehorn allows slipping shoes on without bending or awkward hand positions. Because they specifically support dressing activities rather than transferring, communicating, or breathing assistance, they fit under dressing aids.
