Weighted utensils are specially designed eating tools that have added weight to help individuals with limited hand strength or coordination. These utensils can include forks, spoons, and knives that are heavier than standard versions, making them easier to control and reducing the effort needed to use them. These utensils are often used by people with conditions such as Parkinson's disease, arthritis, or cerebral palsy. The added weight provides stability, allowing users to eat more independently and comfortably. They can be made from various materials, including stainless steel and plastic, and come in different styles to suit individual preferences.
