Examples showing how the Neater Eater's modular design can be used to meet people's differing abilities.

Systems designed for people with limited movement

Example 3 - requires only weak or limited movement

The spoon is moved by using the additional adjustable handle that is attached to the Neater Eater arm. The special baseboard allows the handle to move below the level of the table, for example, with the diner's hands resting on their lap. No grip is required and only weak and limited movements are needed to operate this light system as the damping resistance is reduced significantly.

The baseboard can be raised on spacers to reduce the distance from plate to the diner's mouth and so reducing the arm movement required.

A remote plate-turner attachment can be fitted that enables rotation of the plate from small movements of the diner's hand in their lap or from movement of their knee. This is illustrated in the next example.
