Useful inventions


Picking up a spoon, lifting food to your mouth, or just using the fork and knife. It’s naturally for healthy people to eat, drink, write and not think of every motion needed to do that.
Disabilities of our body can make daily living activities more difficult.

I would like to write about some quite simple, but definitely important innovations for people with physical limitations (especially for those one who have Parkinson’s,  have suffered a stroke or also for older persons).

The Thomas Steady Arm is an arm support, designed to help people with arm and hand tremors. On the producer’s website we can read how it works: “A patient’s arm is placed in the arm holder to be secured with straps and a set of tension adjusters are used to react to the effects of the tremors”. 


Utensil Holder is an invention for people with limited hand function. This item helps holding utensils while eating or writing. The idea of the invention is simply: in a pocket you could put items such as pens, brushes, spoons, etc. and they are securely holds. People with health problems can eat without assistance.



And an innovation for everyday use for everyone (kids, seniors, athletes) – Coilers Shoelaces. This kind of shoelaces is permanently coiled with elastic and never need tying. It fits up to every pair of shoe and allow more natural foots movement.
