This video provides solutions for challenging hair and grooming tasks when attempting to complete them 1-handed (as would be necessary during shoulder surgery recovery, traumatic arm injuries, or hemiplegia from stroke recovery). These solutions can also be used following various shoulder surgeries or injuries such as total or complete shoulder replacement, athroplasty, rotator cuff repair, shoulder labrum tears, or general shoulder joint or socket pain resulting in an immobilized shoulder. These techniques are meant to be simple, low cost, and safe to maximize independence!

Just found this video. I'm 10 wks post dominant side total shoulder. Found your other posts pre-op. I guess I didn't look hard enough. Recommended them to my surgeon. Your videos are extremely well done and helpful. I live alone so being able to finally groom my hair without asking friends for shampoo help is greatly appreciated. Bless you.

This is so true ! I was trying to teach my husband to put my hair in a pony tail: he has two left hands and can’t grip my hair together and we both ended up being mad at each other. He has no clue! I have to ask my neighbor to help me . Very frustrating ! Now I will try to do it myself.

The shoelace worked easiest for me! I’m 73 years old, and have just for the first time in my life grown out my bangs, but they are not long enough to be completely manageable yet. I’m having left shoulder replacement soon. This ponytail with the shoelace is awesome! Once the ponytails in, then I can use a clip to get my bangs pulled back. My hair is also to the middle of my back and I’m thankful to find a style that doesn’t make me want to cut my hair every other day into a pixie!😂😂😂 Thanks so much for the video!

I'm 5 weeks post-op after rotator cuff surgery on my dominant side. I'm growing my hair to donate--it's past my tailbone--and one of the things I miss the most is being able to braid my hair or put it in a bun to keep the ends from getting damaged and breaking off. I've had my physical therapist and a barista at my local Starbucks braid it for me a couple times. 😂 i tried your tip about the rubber band, but I just couldn't get all the hair through without it ending up a mess. I already used a shampoo bar before surgery, but it has been really helpful post-op. I start lathering my hair with the bar, then use one of those scalp massagers to get a nice lather. They're great for travel, too--no worries about spilling or getting through security at the airport! Thanks for another helpful video!

I’ve had RA for 45 long years and am facing replacements of left shoulder and left elbow in the coming months. Thank you so much for your very helpful and often ingenious demonstrations for self care! Perhaps it’s not for everyone, but I use my mouth quite a bit to stabilize loosely tightened screw top lids and turn the container part with the non operated hand. Another way is if the jar lid is too big for my mouth or even my hand, I’ll sit down and stabilize the jar part between my knees and then turn the lid with my non-operated hand. Of course the whole family helps out by barely tightening anything I may need in the fridge or bathrooms. One thing that still stumps me though, is applying deodorant to the non-operated armpit when the other arm or hand not functional. I have discovered that gel antiperspirants glide on MUCH easier than solids which helps immensely, but with one arm immobilized, how do you tackle applying it?
@EquipMeOT
@EquipMeOT Год назад
Some are able to make the same arm application work by holding the deodorant in the same hand your applying on, but it requires some flexibility. I’ve made several deodorant long handled holders using either cheap shoe horns and strong Velcro or even gorilla glue. The long handle makes it possible to reach using the surgical side (make sure your aloud to hold light things in the hand) or even the non surgical side so you can reach.

Great tips. Thank you. My dominant arm is believed to be torn. Waiting for my MRI. I’m definitely nervous about not being able to use this arm for a long period of time, if surgery is needed. My doctor is quite sure that I will need it based on clinical tests. Your tips are very helpful for early preparations.

Begging to get my curly mop into a pony tail has put care disparity into perspective. Two girls raised and somehow nobody can manage it for poor one arm momma. Can't wait until I can do a smooth snug pony for myself again. I know I'm fussy but I'm frustrated with the damage. I'll try the tiny elastics.

Hey Lindsey, I really appreciate all your helpful tips! I have short hair that will dry itself, but because I have arthritis and restricted ROM in my “good” shoulder, I can’t reach my whole head. Washing one side of my hair and brushing there, especially in the back, is just not working. Do you have any suggestions? Do you think that gooseneck clamp would work with a hairbrush?

It is definitely more challenging working with your non-dominant hand! There are no magical tricks or tools that make it a ton easier. Be prepared to have to take a little extra time and be kind to yourself and ask for help (if possible). You will be surprised how much your non- dominant hand can learn with repetition!

Unfortunately, this is impossible to do with my thick hair. Trying the first way my fingers hurt so much and I can't manage to pull hair out with just two fingers 😟. The second one seems unsafe because you can slip in a wet bathroom plus I am not allowed to drill holes in a wall in the place I am renting. This scares me because I have a very long hair 😳

Washing your armpits will require a long handled sponge for your non-surgical side and a thin washcloth slide through your surgical armpit. I am glad you asked because I definitely should have included this in the video!

That was my question too, seems like the most important, most difficult tasks. I wonder if I'll be able to lift my arm up enough. I'd be afraid to rest my arm on anything in the shower in case I have even a small slip. Maybe I can pull up on the slang. I'm already using a sponge on a stick, pre-op. I've noticed even the extra tall deodorant stick container is easier than a short one. I think I'll be taping deodorant container to a stick.
