Weighted Adaptive Cutlery Set (3-Piece) | NDIS Tremor & Grip Aid

Regain control, stability, and dignity at the dinner table with the Weighted Adaptive Cutlery Set. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this specialized 3-piece set is designed to support NDIS participants living with Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremor, Ataxia, or reduced hand strength due to Arthritis or Stroke.

Standard cutlery is often too light and thin, making it difficult to control for those with involuntary movements or weak grip. This adaptive set solves that problem by adding approximately 150g of weight to each utensil. This weight provides essential proprioceptive feedback, helping to dampen tremors and steady the hand during the movement from plate to mouth. Combined with an extra-wide 3.5cm non-slip handle and a specialized rocker knife for one-handed cutting, this set transforms mealtimes from a challenge into an enjoyable, independent experience.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Tremor Management: The added weight (approx. 150g per piece) acts as a stabilizing force, reducing the amplitude of hand tremors and preventing food spillage.

• Improving Grip: The built-up 3.5cm diameter handles are much easier to grasp than standard silverware, requiring less finger flexion and reducing hand cramping for users with Arthritis.

• Facilitating One-Handed Eating: The rocker knife allows the user to cut food with a simple downward rocking motion rather than a sawing action, which is vital for participants with hemiplegia or limited wrist mobility.

• Sensory Feedback: The weight provides sensory cues to the brain about where the hand is in space (proprioception), assisting users with dyspraxia or sensory processing challenges.

Key Features & Benefits

• Weighted Stability: Each utensil weighs approximately 150g, scientifically designed to counter-balance tremors and provide a steadier eating rhythm.

• Wide Non-Slip Grip: Features a ribbed, rubberized handle with a 3.5cm diameter that ensures a secure hold, even if hands are wet or weak.

• Rocker Knife Blade: The curved blade allows for cutting with minimal effort and without the need for two hands, promoting dining autonomy.

• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, rust-proof stainless steel and food-grade silicone/rubber, ensuring longevity and safety.

• Inclusive Design: The neutral grey colour and professional aesthetic look like high-quality kitchenware rather than "medical" devices, reducing social stigma when dining out.
