Eater- Mechanic Arm

Eater- Mechanic Arm - open-source assistive technology working model by the Mexico City community

About this project

The solution is a mechanical arm that limits her to do the right movements in order to eat with a spoon.

The challenge

She would like to eat in an independent way using a spoon, the problem is that on the way from the plate to her mouth the movement of her body makes the food drop out.

Who it helps

Betzabeth is a 4-year old with spastic cerebral paralysis that affects left and right parts of her body.
