Title: | Stabilizing spoon for Parkinson’s patients | Authors: | Duong Do Thien Bao | Keywords: | Stabilizing spoon;Liftware | Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | Vietnamese-German University | Abstract: | This is a utensil device for canceling and reduce tremor motion. The device includes a base handgrip for users to keep on hand, a gripping part linked to the base for connecting the device to an object, a sensor (gyro) that detects movement of the base, a controller and 2 actuators which operate under the control of the controller to move in a direction that mostly counteracts the detected motion of the base. Liftware is a stabilizing handle and a selection of attachments that include a soup spoon, everyday spoon, and fork. Liftware is designed to help people with hand tremor eat more easily. This spoons automatically stabilizes so the attached utensil shakes 70% less than your hand. Worry less about spilling and focus on enjoying your meal. It includes two parts: a stabilizing handle and a utensil attachment. Liftware automatically turns on the moment both parts are connected. Place Liftware face down to put it to sleep temporarily. Place Liftware in its storage pouch, and bring it with you where you go. A full battery charge can last you through several meals, so you don't always have to worry about bringing the charger along [ I]. |
