Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weighted utensils can help stabilize movements and reduce shakiness, making it easier for individuals with tremors or spasticity to eat independently. The other options are not specifically designed to address motor difficulties. Weighted utensils can help stabilize tremors and spasticity while eating, allowing for more independence and reduced spilling or dropping of food. A rocker knife may be useful for individuals with limited hand function, a cutout plastic cup may be useful for individuals with difficulty with lip control or limited neck extension, and a battery-powered feeding machine may be useful for individuals with severe disabilities that prevent independent feeding. However, for the specific symptoms listed in the question (tremors, spasticity, uneven or jerky movements), weighted utensils are the best choice.
