A Very Messy Sentence

This was over on FB with lots of comments and suggestions. Here is my take:

That means that, if a body part is lost -- for example, in an amputation -- or if a body part if not functioning properly -- for example, if somebody experiences stiffness -- it could result in deficiency doing some kind of activity of daily living: for example, dressing/undressing, putting on -- tying buttons/untying buttons from a shirt.

There may be a couple of other possibilities there at the end. And, for the record, nothing makes this sentence look good. :-)

Happy punctuating.
