Dressing Aid for People with no Upper Limbs

Getting dressed without arms can be challenging. There is a lack of products to support this task, and those currently available don't have the optimal shape and are hard to maneuver. Pongo is a piece of furniture to aid users with no upper limbs in the process of getting dressed. It is formed by three main components; bars, hooks, and a padded seat. Each component has its function: The bars are for upper-body garments, while the hooks are for lower-body garments. The seat can store all the bars, which can be removed. Pongo makes getting dressed easier and faster.
