The H-board mockup consists of a thick plastic plate about the height of the user’s torso. The plate has
arm holes cut out on either side, about a third of the way up the device, at a distance slightly narrower
than shoulder-width apart from each other. Above the plastic plate, a plastic hook is suspended. To use the
H-board, the neck hole of the shirt is hung from the plastic hook to hold it open. The user then places their
arms through the arm holes of the shirt and the device, leans forward to place their head through the open
head hole, and continues leaning forward as the board slides the shirt up the user’s arms. Once the shirt
is up to the shoulders, the user must lean back and wiggle to unhook the neck hole of the shirt from the
hook above and move the body of the shirt down their torso. Figure 45 shows performance testing of the
H-board.

The Ladder mockup consists of a long vertical tube through which a number of shorter, narrower tubes
are inserted through so that they stick out on both sides. Figure 46 shows the ladder mockup. To use the
Ladder, the user places their arms through the arm holes of the shirt, then places a hand on the bottom
rung of the Ladder. The user then ascends the Ladder with their arms, one rung at a time, until their hands
are above their head. To get the shirt down, the user must wiggle their body so the shirt slides down their
arms, put their head through the head hole, continue to wiggle so that the shirt slides down their back, then
remove their arms from the Ladder once the shirt is on.
