Bilateral Arm Amputee Puts on Prosthesis - Uses Dressing Tree

For bilateral arm amputees, doing regular daily tasks without assistance from another person is very challenging. A device called a "dressing tree" makes it possible for bilateral amputees to get dressed or put on prosthetic arms independently. In this video segment, John Mitchell (Texas) and Hank Esmond (Indiana) demonstrate how a dressing tree helps them get dressed and ready for the day. FYI: putting on a prosthesis is known as "donning" while taking off a prosthesis is known as "doffing."
