Ableware Angled Spoon, With Maddadapt built-up handle, overall length 7 1-4"

Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

Semi rigid or very soft spoons enhance independent eating

These soft plastic spoons enhance independent eating for those who have limited or painful movement of their upper extremities. Ideal for diagnoses of neurological disorders, a stroke or head injury, severe arthritis, wrist fractures, shoulder dysfunction, or cerebral palsy. Food is scooped onto the spoon with simple elbow motion, minimizing the movements of the shoulder and forearm. Fits the mouth perfectly and prevents food from spilling off the back. Top shelf dishwasher safe. For right hand only. Developed in cooperation with the Knapp Rehabilitation Center, Cynthia Johnson, OTR; and John Casiday.
