Coat removal - post stroke

Nothing useful found in Shutterstock, took 5 pages of Google returns to get this model one. I don't think I received any ADLs on this while in the hospital.  It took me 9 years to figure out how to ask people to help remove a coat. My standard way by myself is to lean my left arm into a corner wall to get it behind my back. Then use my right arm behind my back to grab the left sleeve and pull it off. I never could get people to understand how to push my arms together behind my back. Finally just had them pull the right sleeve off that arm and I can then remove my left sleeve from the front.

Which is useless since the sleeves are wide open and large.

    Wear a coat with a satin lining - it slides off my unaffected arm as I shake it, then that arm removes the rest. With help, which I rarely ask for, I ask the person to pull DOWN the sleeve on the unaffected arm. People tend to pull back, which threatens to lose my balance.
