adaptive utensils
Adaptive utensils are specially designed tools that help individuals with disabilities or limited mobility eat more easily and independently. These utensils often feature ergonomic handles, built-up grips, or angled designs to accommodate various needs, making it simpler for users to hold and manipulate them.
Common examples of adaptive utensils include weighted spoons, rocker knives, and stabilized forks. These tools can enhance the dining experience for people with conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson's disease, or cerebral palsy, allowing them to enjoy meals with greater comfort and confidence.
