When I was a young kid, I saw a doctor named Levy. He was in Manhattan. This must've been in the late 80s. And he did just that. He used hinges in different directions as a mechanism to give range of motion.
Ultimately, I decided it was more trouble than was worth and I could achieve the same results organically. I have had some experimental surgery though, which has helped.

Tell me what use of your arms you do have. It's mine that are primarily fucked as well.

If he doesn't answer: Other people did that as a young kid to make fun of me. It's super obnoxious.
In a word: Never.

It's much, much better as an adult. But, the specific things that irritated me as a youth still do. As an adult, hey, I can park my car fucking ANYWHERE. It rules.

I'll help you out since I have AMC as well. Your condition sounds worse than mine, but, here's a few tips:
For button up shirts, don't unbutton them all the way. I put my arms through the sleeves and then use momentum to get it over my head. Or, I push my head through aimed down then lift up and gravity does the rest.
Try to do stuff while lying down. Then slowly lift clothes up. You can shift around a little to slowly raise clothes up or down. I did that after a surgery.
If you tell us a little more about your condition, I can help you come up with more ways to do things, as the degree of how shitty your AMC is varies greatly.
