Why we know this works!
Why we know this works!
We love this stabilizing utensil because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we sit with people whose tremors turn every single bite into hard, frustrating work. Do electronic stabilizing spoons really work for Parkinson's tremors? Yes: sensors inside the handle detect the shaking and small motors move the utensil head the opposite way, canceling out most of the tremor so food stays on the spoon instead of on the table. The kit includes both a spoon and a fork attachment, and the battery runs up to 180 minutes per charge, enough for several meals.
It is especially valuable for people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or multiple sclerosis whose shaking is too strong for weighted utensils to control. If the tremor is mild, start with a lower-cost option like the Weighted Bracelet or Swivel Spoon first, since this high-tech handle is an investment best saved for significant shaking.
What The Experts Say

"The Gyenno Spoon helps promote client dignity during eating. This spoon helps eliminate tremors for someone during eating and allows them to be able to continue to feed themselves instead of having someone feed them. I personally would rather feed myself than have someone put food in my face and that's why I love the Gyenno Spoon."
