Advise please about aid products

Hi,

I am writing from Croatia. I am 33, had arthritis since I was 3. I now
have both hips and knees joints replaced and ankles surgically stiffed/
firmed (I have a feeling I dont know the english word for disabling
the movement of a joint surgically? ;)).

Now I am looking for many different higiene and house aids since I
cannot bend to my feet or reach behind my back or head :(

I found online this:
http://www.arthritissupplies.com/site/371928/product/ALL200

I cannot figure out how does it work? If I tie my laces before putting
shoes on my feet and than using shoe fork I put show on my feet how do
the laces stay firmly tied and not get loosened up?

Also, I dont know if it exists but I would like to buy:
- some hook or something that would make it easy for me to pull my
shirt/buttoned west up to my back side of the neck after I succesfully
put the sleeves on, problem is to get it up to my neck-back :(
- electric nail breezer/brushener (something like pedicurists have but
smaller for portable use)
- electric tweezer (for eyebrows??)
- electric can opener (for first time opening and for later when it
has been already used)

Hope someone has some ideas or products to recommend? Anything else I
havent mentioned that you think can arthiritc hands and body use to
ease my life around house and outside world ;) would be greatly
appreciated :)
