Which RMS Hip Kit Is Right for You?

When bending, reaching, dressing, or bathing becomes difficult, adaptive daily living aids can help make everyday tasks easier and more comfortable.

Hip kits combine several commonly used mobility and dressing aids into one convenient package, helping individuals maintain greater independence while reducing unnecessary bending, twisting, or straining.

But which kit should you choose?

The answer depends less on your condition and more on which daily activities you need help with.

Start by Asking One Simple Question

Do you need help with:

• Reaching?
• Getting dressed?
• Bathing?
• Moving your leg?
• All of the above?

The more assistance you need throughout the day, the more comprehensive your kit should be.

RMS Basic 4-Piece Hip Kits

Best for Everyday Essentials

Includes:

• Reacher Grabber

The Basic Kit focuses on the tasks many people struggle with first: reaching objects, putting on socks, bathing, and putting on shoes.

Choose from:

Basic Kit with 26” Reacher

A great choice for smaller living spaces and users who prefer a more compact reacher.

Basic Kit with 32” Reacher

Provides additional reach for retrieving items from the floor, shelves, under furniture, or other hard-to-reach areas.

Best for:

• Mild to moderate mobility limitations
• Individuals who primarily need dressing and bathing assistance

The dressing stick adds another level of independence by helping with clothing, waistbands, jackets, zippers, and other dressing tasks.

Choose from:

Deluxe Kit with 26” Reacher

The leg lifter helps users lift and reposition their leg while getting into bed, adjusting in a chair, or entering and exiting a vehicle.

Best for:
