Abstract

See full text

An adaptive holder is used to provide those lacking fine hand motor control skills and limited arm and shoulder range of motion with the ability to conveniently extend and orient utensils such as forks and spoons. Used with a universal adapter cuff, the holder includes a slotted head which receives the utensil handle. A gripping portion, attached to the head, is received by the cuff. The utensil may be angularly oriented relative to the head and is secured thereto by a frictional interference fit.
