3-Piece Adaptive Utensils Set for Parkinson's & Hand Tremors - 42° Angled Weighted Silverware (2.5oz) with Easy Grip Handle, Right-Handed - Ideal for Elderly & Disabled Dining Independence

I ordered these for an individual with Parkinson’s and arthritis in his hands. First let me start off by saying that he is a bit stubborn when it comes to using adaptive aids, he calls it “determined” (to stay as normal as possible). It took us forever just to get him to even sometimes use a walker (highly recommend the U-Step walker designed specifically for individuals with Parkinsons), that we purchased from Amazon.He has been having difficulty with his hands and using utensils, I purchased some sporks as he was having trouble keeping food on a fork but still wanted the use of them (he was getting pretty frustrated) they seemed to work well but I wanted to try these out. Again I was hesitant because of his reluctance to use adaptive equipment. I was totally surprised that when I opened the box and showed them to him, that he was actually looking forward to trying them and thought they would help. He admitted he was having more trouble with bending his wrists than he had been willing to admit.He tried the fork out on a salad and had no problems, he said it was much easier to eat. He used the spoon on pudding and that also worked well. He did say it might not work as well with soup, and to be honest for some individuals a deeper spoon may make it harder to get food off of them. For soup he generally prefers a bowl with handles anyway, he lifts the bowl with the handles and drinks the liquid. (onion soup bowls) I will disclose that his medication controls his tremors so that isn’t a factor as it may be with some individuals.He personally did not find the knife anymore useful than a “regular” one. His problem is turning his wrist to get food to his mouth. He may find the larger thicker handle more useful/easier to hold as the disease progresses, but for now he prefers a “regular” knife.Any product that helps him continue to maintain his independence as much as possible is a win in our books and is especially important for maintaining his positive mental health as it is for so many.
