Case studies
Foam tubing
If you are having difficulty using standard cutlery and you don't wish to buy or use specialised cutlery, you can look at ways of adapting the grip to make management easier. For example, using this foam tubing to increase the width of a hand grip can make it easier to handle cutlery.
Finger yokes are also included in this section. These support your fingers in a functional position on the handle of the cutlery, such as stabilising the index finger and/or the thumb.
Please read our FAQs if you have any questions about how to change information, what the DLF ratings means, etc.
