description

This assistive medical device is designed to help people with limited arm strength (such as Muscular Dystrophy or ALS) enjoy a bowl of soup independently. The user’s hand is connected to the back of a chair through a belt. The simple forward and backward movement of the trunk activates the shoulder as a fulcrum to lift the hand to the user’s mouth.
