Building Capacity & Independence

  • 360° Swivel Technology: The utensil head rotates independently of the handle, keeping food level and preventing spills for users with hand tremors or Parkinson's.
  • Secure Hand Strap: Integrated adjustable strap fastens the utensil to the hand, allowing users with zero grip strength or severe arthritis to eat independently.
  • High-Contrast Red: The bright red colour helps define the utensil against the table, a proven aid for increasing appetite in participants with Alzheimer's or dementia.
  • Non-Slip Grip: Chunky, textured handles provide a secure hold, reducing the hand fatigue and cramping often caused by trying to grip standard thin cutlery.
  • Promotes Self-Feeding: Restores dignity by enabling the user to feed themselves without assistance, reducing reliance on carers and improving mealtime enjoyment.

Frequently Bought Together

Regain confidence at the dining table with theErgonomic Adaptive Utensils Set. This specialized piece of low-cost assistive technology is engineered to support NDIS participants living with Parkinson’s disease, hand tremors, arthritis, or limited wrist mobility.

Standard cutlery requires complex wrist rotation and a steady hand, which can lead to spills and frustration for many users. This set features a360° Swivel Mechanismthat automatically keeps the fork or spoon head level, regardless of how the handle is twisted or shaken. This "self-leveling" action prevents food from falling off, ensuring it reaches the mouth safely.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Counteracting Tremors (Parkinson's/Essential Tremor):The swivel design works with gravity to stabilize the food, neutralizing the effect of hand tremors. This allows participants to eat neat, nutritious meals without relying on a carer to feed them.

Supporting Weak Grip (Arthritis/Stroke):The built-inadjustable silicone strapsecures the utensil to the hand. This is vital for users who cannot maintain a tight grip, preventing the cutlery from being dropped during the meal.

Cognitive & Appetite Support (Dementia/Alzheimer's):The high-contrastRed Colouris not just a design choice; research indicates that red tableware can increase appetite and food recognition for individuals with Alzheimer's and cognitive impairments, helping to maintain healthy weight and nutrition.

Ergonomic Comfort:The non-slip, built-up handles are easy to hold, reducing hand fatigue and pain associated with gripping thin, standard metal cutlery.

Key Features & Benefits

360° Self-Leveling:Keeps food stable on the utensil even if the user's hand shakes or twists, significantly reducing spills and mess.
Secure Hand Strap:An adjustable silicone strap ensures the utensil stays attached to the hand, supporting users with practically zero grip strength.
High-Contrast Red Design:Scientifically selected to boost appetite and visibility for users with cognitive or visual impairments.
Food-Grade Stainless Steel:Durable, hygienic, and safe for daily use, with rounded edges to protect the mouth and gums.
Universal Design:Suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users, providing a flexible solution for diverse needs.
