Customer Reviews of Duro-Med Reach Extender Hip Kit
Customer Review: Simple, but Very Useful
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife (mid-50's) had hip replacement therapy last week, so I scoured all the Amazon reviews to find what she would need to recover at home rather than a rehab center. She was operated on a Tuesday and returned home on Friday able to walk a few steps and climb stairs. The kit came in handy right from the start.
- Reach Extender - works really well and it's her favorite item in the kit. She was able to pick up coins from the floor with it. There's a small magnet on the tip, but the magnet isn't very strong. Won't pick up a glass or soda can because the jaws aren't wide enough, but that hasn't been an issue for her. There are other types of extenders you can buy, if you need this capability.
- Dressing Aid - She keeps this upstairs for use in the bed and bath and uses it like another reach extender to pick up clothes and towels. Can also be used to put on slippers more easily than the shoe horn.
- Sock Aid - ingenious device that really works. It's a bit stiff which requires some effort to get a sock on it, but probably will loosen with use. Even works with nylon hosiery.
- Shoe horn and long handled sponge - nothing fancy, but they do the job.
I spent the first 5 days at home helping her out, but after that, this kit along with an elevated toilet seat are the only items she needed to take care of herself and allowed me to return back to work.
Bonus tip: her surgeon suggested using plastic food wrap to wrap around her leg, hip and torso to keep her dressing dry while showering. I replaced the regular showerhead with a handheld sprayer on a flexible hose. This combination allowed her to shower without getting her dressing wet during the first week home from the hospital.
