Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to pajamas, and more particularly to pajamas that can be easily put on and taken off by wearers with physical disabilities such as fractures, disabilities, or paralysis. [Background technology]
[0002] In nursing homes and other facilities, care recipients spend most of their time wearing pajamas. Many of these care recipients have disabilities such as paralysis in their limbs. When putting on or taking off pajamas for bathing or other occasions, caregivers at the facility must grasp the recipient's arms and legs and apply force to bend and straighten them in order to put their arms through the sleeves and take them off, or to put their legs through the pants and take them off, making this a time-consuming and difficult task. Similarly, when someone is disabled due to a fracture, when putting on or taking off pajamas at home or in a hospital, for example, the caregiver must grab the wearer's arms and legs and apply force to bend and straighten them in order to put their arms through the sleeves and take them off, or to put their legs through the trousers and take them off, making this a time-consuming and difficult task.
