Introduction: Adaptive Spoon for Cerebral Palsy

Flexpoon design offers a new grip for IKEA KALAS spoon.

The spoon is designed for kids with Cerebral Palsy, having difficulties eating on their own.

It is wrapped around the wrist, thus supporting it. The wrap also secures the spoon to the child's hand, in case he loses the grip.

This project was done during Industrial Design studies at HIT- Holon Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Fixperts organization.
