Good Grips Weighted Fork for Tremors
People with Parkinson's, tremors and generally weak grip often struggle to eat, compromising their health and making mealtimes emotionally distressing. However, the Good Grips Weighted Fork for Tremors allows patients to enjoy eating again with increased independence, making this a beneficial tool for carers too. With an extra-gripping handle and rotating neck to suit both left-handed and right-handed users, this adapted cutlery prevents spills wherever it is used.
What's Included?
Key Features
- Adapted fork assists people with a variety of conditions to eat
- Textured latex handle ensures a confident grip in either hand
- Shaft twist allows the spoon to be bent for left or right-handed use
- 170g weight reduces tremors and consequential spills
- Dishwasher safe for convenience and hygiene
Textured Handle for Added Grip
The Good Grips Fork features a black textured handle, which increases the friction between the user's hand and the handle itself. This makes gripping the utensil significantly easier for people with weak grip hand strength, reducing the likelihood of dropping their food.
Ideal for Left and Right-Handed People
Good Grips Adapted Cutlery features a special in-built twist mechanism within the handle. This allows the cutlery to be bent for either left or right-handed use, making eating with one hand easier and safer. This not only reduces the likelihood of spills, but it also allows users to have more independence using a one-handed eating style, which is ideal for using with adapted plates.

How Does Weighted Cutlery Assist People with Tremors?
Weighted cutlery like the Good Grips Cutlery Range helps people with tremors by adding mass to the utensils, making them easier to control and reducing hand shaking during eating. The added weight provides stability and reduces unintentional movements, allowing individuals with tremors to eat more comfortably and independently.
