Questions & Answers

What is the purpose of a patient with hand tremor?

This is not the type of utensil to use if you have hand tremors. You'd be better off with a weighted, built-up utensil.

Will this fit in a universal cuff for use by someone who is unable to grip?

I'm afraid I won't be able to respond. This was purchased for a friend's daughter who had suffered a stroke. She didn't seem to be able to grip anything, as far as I could tell. br>She tried to use a number of times - but to no avail. (I believe this is correct)

Is it too big for a toddler to use this spoon?

For a toddler, the handle should be small. It's on a smaller scale than other Built-Up-Types of Structures. (BUH) Handles This BUH isn't weighted, so don't make it too heavy. The spoon is about the size of a teaspoon.

What is the length of the spoon?

The spoon is 1 inch long, 3/4 inch wide, and 1/4 inch deep. The swivel mechanism, which leads to the plastic handle, is about 3/4" long on the spoon.

BUYING IS A MISTAKE - OFFENSIVE

3/5

This image was taken straight from the camera. It has a vile appearance. I expected a high-quality product at $23 for one utensil, and I will not let my loved one use it. It will be returned to you in its original condition.

We were unable to make it work

3/5

This left me feeling a little underwhelmed. I bought this for my father who was having difficulty feeding himself because the bowl of the spoon is very shallow and appears to tip downward. For him, it didn't work. This might not have been the best choice for him. There hasn't been a Parkinson's disease diagnosis made. Due to my advanced age (99), I have poor coordination and trembling.

Junk

3/5

Okay, it did help me with my tremors a little. The first issue is that it holds very little, the second issue is that it falls apart during the second wash, and the third issue is that it cannot be used with a deep bowl. I threw mys away because it was a waste of money.

The spoon's "bowl" section is far too shallow

3/5

The spoon's bowl is too shallow to be considered a spoon, despite the fact that it can stay fairly level. Because it's nearly flat, it can only hold 1 measuring teaspoon of liquid, which isn't even a mouthful for an adult; eating a bowl of soup or cereal with this spoon would take all day.

The swivel spoon was a no-no for Dad

3/5

This swivel spoon was purchased for my visually impaired father. My father despised the swivel spoon and refused to use it to eat his soup. I had no choice but to return to my old spoon. The spoon was fine in my opinion, but I wasn't the one who used it.

It's difficult to scoop with, but once you get it on the spoon, it holds the food

3/5

I bought this as a gift, and I've only seen it a couple of times. It was ordered for a person who has trouble scooping and controlling their muscles. It's great for keeping food on the spoon, but it's a little difficult to scoop because the spoon swivels a little too easily, and if you don't position it just right while scooping, it'll turn to the side.

This is an excellent gift for someone who has had a stroke

3/5

This was purchased as a gift for a colleague. It's a fantastic product for people who have severe disabilities, such as those who have had a stroke. If they can figure out how to handle it in a simple way - It does give you a nearly limitless amount of food to eat. My friend, unfortunately, lacks the strength to live it and work with the item. One has a strap that goes around the entire hand.
