Extandable Fork + Spoon
About this project
The solution is a combination of 2 products. A placement that prevent slipping while eating attached to a small ball that expand the range of movements. And an extendable fork or a special angled spoon
The challenge
Today, after a long amazing physical therapy Moshe can move his arms. But, not enough for eat by himself yet. Our challenge is to help Moshe eat on his own, on a daily basis and especially on friday night dinner with his family.
Who it helps
Moshe is a family loving person and a religious man, who lives in Beer Sheva. He suffers from a severe muscles tension due to work accident which limits his movement range.
How it works
Our solution will help Moshe to eat on his own while using all of his movement range by simple products that anyone can buy online or 3D print and basic tools, in a low cost. The solution, as Moshe asked, uses his own movements, not replacing them.
Tools needed
Measurement tool
Hot glue gun
FDM Printer
