S'up | A Spoon for Shaky Hands

Q: How does the S'up Spoon work?

The S'up Spoon works differently from traditional spoons by allowing you to tip food directly into your mouth rather than requiring you to pull food off with your upper lip or teeth. This unique design makes eating easier and more independent for people with shaky hands, Parkinson's disease, essential tremors, or weakness.

Q: Who is the S'up Spoon designed for?

The S'up Spoon is perfect for older adults with shaky hands, people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremors, individuals with hand weakness, and even infants who are just developing eating coordination. It was originally designed for Grant Douglas and helps anyone who struggles with traditional utensils maintain independence while eating.

Q: What sizes are available for the S'up Spoon?

The S'up Spoon comes in two sizes: Standard ($28.95) and Mini ($19.99). The Mini version is ideal for smaller hands or those who prefer a more compact utensil, while the Standard size works well for most adults.

Q: Is the S'up Spoon safe for people with Parkinson's disease?

Yes, the S'up Spoon is specifically designed to be safe and effective for people with Parkinson's disease and other conditions that cause hand tremors. Its unique tipping design reduces the precision required for eating, making mealtimes safer and less frustrating.

Q: How is the S'up Spoon different from regular adaptive utensils?

Unlike other adaptive utensils that may have weighted handles or special grips, the S'up Spoon's innovation lies in its bowl design that allows you to tip food into your mouth. This eliminates the need for precise hand movements and upper lip coordination that traditional spoons require.

Q: Can children use the S'up Spoon?

Absolutely! The S'up Spoon is excellent for infants and young children who are just learning to eat independently. The tipping motion is more natural and easier to master than the scooping and lip-pulling action required with regular spoons, making it a great tool for developing eating skills.
