Lifting a spoon to your mouth may seem like a simple, daily act that doesn't take much thought or effort. But it's an out-of-reach luxury for many people with mobility-related disabilities. 。
Now, a new line of eating utensils helps people with limited mobility regain mealtime independence, all through high-tech sensors, computers and motors. 。
SEE ALSO:Compassionate new spoons and plates make it easier for people with Alzheimer's to eat。The line, called Liftware, features two utensils designed to help with hand tremors, limited reach and other mobility conditions that could affect a person's ability to feed themselves.。
The first product, called Liftware Steady, has sensors that detect unintended hand movements, compensating for tremors with complementary vibrations to keep the spoon level. The second design, called Liftware Level, bends at the neck of the utensil, allowing for improved angling of the spoon. It also uses sensors to detect movements that would tip the utensil too much and cause unintended spills. 。
