Getting dressed
To protect your finger joints, avoid tightly pinching with your fingers. For example, use a buttonhook to help you grasp and fasten buttons on your clothes.
Make getting dressed easier by choosing loose-fitting clothes with easy-to-close fasteners, such as zippers or large buttons. Select pants or skirts with a stretch waist. Slip-on shoes and a long-handled shoehorn also can protect your hand joints.
