Putting on socks

A relative has one- he bought it from a mobility aid shop I think, though he was recommended it for his cellulitis by the hospital so it may be more specialised than the one you need.

Just popped in to see my neighbour who has really bad arthritis. She said her feet were really cold as she finds it difficult to bend down to get some socks on.

I know there's lots of aids for this - my Dad bless him tried one towards the end of his life and landed up losing his temper and throwing it across the room (we did have a laugh about if afterwards!).

I've looked at them online but there seems to be so many different types - anyone got any recommendations? It would just be for getting an ordinary pair of ankle socks on.
