Why we know this works!
We love this utensil set because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch people give up favorite foods when their fingers can no longer close around thin metal handles. What kind of utensils are best for weak or arthritic hands? Ones with wide, built-up handles, because a thicker grip takes far less finger strength to hold, and the ribbed texture on these keeps them from slipping. You can also bend the neck of the spoon, fork, or knife to match the angle your wrist can actually manage, and the stainless steel set is dishwasher safe and small enough to carry to a restaurant.
This set is especially helpful for people with arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or hand weakness after a stroke. These utensils are not weighted, so if strong tremors are the main problem rather than grip, look at the Weighted Spoon and Weighted Fork or the Gyenno Bravo Twist stabilizing utensil instead.
