Would these be difficult for an elderly woman to put on by herself?

My mother's arms are thin therefore there was no problem. Since these gloves are not a compression style glove, I don't see that there would be much of a struggle.

My 97 year old father-in-law didn't have a problem with them but he was pretty agile. If she can dress herself she should be able to put them on.

If the person can place a stocking over their arm pass the elbow than they should be able to get theses on. They are long but the material stretches nicely but if the person is unable to extend their arm the sleeve is going to be challenging to get past the elbow. If they are unable to reach across with their other hand to pull up and smooth around the top they will need assistance to put on.

No, they are very easy to put on, and take off. I see no problem with any age using them!!

My wife is 72 years old and she puts hers on without problems. She wears them to protect from scratches and bruises. Anyone that can put on their socks or gloves shouldn't have any problems.

Yes. I often set them myself or release them as needed. I reach behind my back on either side and can manipulate the brakes, which are below the handles. It isn't the easiest thing to do, but I am a senior citizen (76) and find that it is not too difficult to do. It isn't heavy, I can say that.

Depends how flexible you are. I am 73 and as long as you can sit and bend your legs you should be able to get them on. There are several excellent videos on the internet addressing this issue and will give you some good ideas.

YES...I remove mine and replace it by myself and I am almost an 80 year old woman ....easy but you must tighten the clamp adequately, which I can also do myself.

The button to push may be too hard for an elderly lady or child to push to release the leg. Try some W40 - might work for a while.

It shouldn't be too difficult, it is a pretty good size. I would say its better to have two people putting it on rather than one person

My husband and I both have a pair and they are easy, but I don't now if you keep taking them on and off a lot if they might stretch at the openings.I would give them a try

Yes. My 5 year old and 3 year old granddaughters are able to put them on. The three year old, not so perfect, but she can still do it!

Yes, I am able to put this on by myself. I have the small strap that goes around the arm secured and then slip my arm into the opening. Then I either reach around my back to get a hold of the other strap or bend to the side to have the strap fall to that side to get a hold of it to secure at the front of the chest. I really like this product.

They are lower to the ground. Probably would be difficult to get out of if you are older.

I am elderly, and was able to put them on the first time I tried. I made sure my toes and heels were comfortable and then I carefully pulled them up to my knees. I've washed them several times by hand and always hang them on the shower rod. Never in the dryer!

You can use them by yourself. The first few times, it'll be awkward, but the more you use it, it'll become second-nature.

You can however you do have to force them on. I was able to get them on and they work wonderfully.

Ask doctor. I'm not sure how that weight would effect her, but these are pretty decent for adults.

Yes! I am female and 5 feet tall & I can set this up all by myself. However I am a strong girl, I workout often and practice proper form when lifting things. Might not be so easy for someone out of shape or lacking strength.

I'd say yes. I'm a 5'5, 135 lb. woman and I can move it easily by myself. The sand only adds another 5-10 lbs. depending on how much you put in. I think your mom could be persuaded to enjoy it!

To be honest I don't know. I do know that my Mom (who wears a size 6 to 7 shoe) couldn't even pull the stockings on. We had to return the item because of this. For someone who is elderly and doesn't have great strength I wouldn't recommend this product.
