Adaptive Utensils for Elderly, Arthritis, Weak Hand Grip, Tremors & Handicapped - Convenient Travel Pouch - 3.35oz Lightweight - Stainless Steel - Eat Independently - Adaptive Blue 4 Piece Set

Have found these to be the best for husband to use!. His hands shake a little and at times his grip is not good. The handles do not lay absolutely flat which makes them a lot easier to pick up and use. He even stated how comfortable they are to use and grip. Very good quality and attractive. The knife is very sharp. The tips of the fork is tapered enough to pierce meat (for example) to cut on his plate. Highly recommend!

Due to a recent stroke, I needed something with weight and girth to prevent it from sliding in my weakened hand. These are perfect. I highly recommend

I misunderstand the type of tool that this was, so understand that as I speak about it. I thought this was a slightly built up handled weighted feeding tool. That was my misunderstanding and not the fault of the manufacturer. Due to the fact that it is built up, however, there is a slight amount of added weight but nowhere near an actual weighted utensil. I was advised to use a 7 oz weighted tool for feeding for myself. I have apraxia, and tremors which this feeding tool has helped with moderately. As noted above because it is built up there is slightly more weight to it so there is some benefit there. What I did love about this particular tool is the stop at the front of the handle before the actual utensil parts. it makes it more difficult for it to slide out of your hand and you put your hand in your food. That is a problem that I experience on occasion, so that is much appreciated. I enjoyed the fact that instead of it being a bulky round built up tool, it is a more flattened version but still built up. For me, personally, it is easier to hold due to that fact. I have difficulty holding the extremely huge round feeding tools that are built up. With those, I have to feed myself like it's a shovel. I prefer more humanistic approach and eating, such as being able to hold my eating tools properly. I can use this European style or American style. what I hate about this, and I mean absolutely hate, is that the knife has zero serrations. meaning that I'm essentially smashing my food into bits and I cannot see how this would possibly work on anything tougher than even chicken. I tried to eat an andouise sausage with it today, and all it did was squish out the meaty bits onto my plate. Then of course there's a hot mess on my plate that's all squished everywhere. for someone with limited dexterity and trouble with swallowing, this was not ideal. In fact, I just quit eating the sausage because it was spewing all over my plate instead of being cut up into relatively nice round bits that I could manipulate easier. I mean, I like andoise sausage but I basically picked it because it would be easier for me to manipulate. It's meat in a tube, and then it wasn't. So that was something that I definitely would not rate as good. Overall, if you needed a slightly built-up handle that was more flat than round, this is a wonderful tool. Well, except for the lack of serration on a dull knife. I mean I wasn't expecting Chicago cutlery, but I could have just as well tried to cut it with my fork and mash it all up.

I am an occupational therapist and often recommend these. The price point is great. They are durable. The built ups make them easy to grasp. As far as weight goes these are a good middle ground. If someone has a severe tremor I would recommend a heavier weight but over all these work great! Lots of the people I have worked up demonstrate an increase in ease during mealtimes and a reduction of food loss. I ordered them so I had a set for people to trial before purchasing.

Update 12/14/25, One month later: These utensils are only helpful when he remembers how to use them. I'm no sure if it is the bulky base that throws him off, but on days his brain isn't working (part of his type of dementia is that his brain can't process how to do things), he doesn't know how to hold it/use it and has to use a regular spoon instead. He can use a normal spoon no problem, but not this one. Original Review: Got this for my dad who has Lewy Body Dementia. The weighted handle helps him keep his grip on it much better. They seem sturdy and the metal part seems like high quality. We only use the fork and spoon for safety reasons so not sure how well the knife works. We paired this with a bowl and plate set designed for Dementia patients and we haven't had any spills or dropped utensils in the few days we've had this product. Definitely recommend!

Practical, washable and strong

Dishwasher safe, nicely weighted and comes with a bag to take out.

These are high quality but I don’t recommend them for women my mother couldn’t get her hands around the handles maybe they should make them in large and medium sizes

My husband is losing the use of his arms and hands and this set has the only fork that he can use to allow him independence. The utensil handles are not round but flatter and this is what allows my husband to use the fork effectively. We have tried others and this is the only one that works for him. I bought a second set just to have a second fork on hand. This set came very quickly and in a nice carrying case. Highly recommended!

Buen material, es cuestión de tiempo que el paciente se acostumbre a usarlos, pero de inicio muy bien y control del temblor

Ma copine n’a que des bons mots pour ces ustensiles. Elle souffre d’arthrite psoreasique sévère.

I bought these for my dad to help with his Tremors. They work great. They are easy for him to use and they actually allow him to get food in his mouth

After time the handle material wears off. The metal underneath is a bit harsh on the hands of the elderly.
