I have the same condition! How the hell do you get yourself dressed? I can get underwear and elasticated pants up but I have no clue what to do with upperwear and jeans that have buttons or zips. I'd love to hear back from you, you could make me so much more independent! :)

I have almost no use of my arms but my legs are fine. I'll try that floor technique you suggested. Without assistance I can't imagine how I'd ever deal with buttons in all honesty.

Ever heard of a bidet? If not, it's basically a toilet adaptation that allows you to have water shot up your butt (not right up there, just a fairly thorough rinse). I have the same condition as OP and that's what I use to keep things from getting swampy.

I'd be interested if people with Arthrogryposis had other methods. Being away from home makes pooping a much bigger challenge!

I type with my feet. I just put a wireless keyboard on the floor and type away. There are special keyboards out there with huge buttons but they always seem to be missing some so I just got accustomed to regular ones. Typos happen sometimes but it's not a big deal really.
