Client Information

MK est contrainte à une chaise roulante avec un plateau sur lequel elle mange ses repas. En raison de la portée limitée de bras, elle a de la difficulté à manger ses repas sans un assistant. Même si elle peut tenir des ustensiles ou un stylet, l'action d'amener de la nourriture à sa bouche est un défi. Avoir un dispositif qui peut aider à délivrer des types différents de nourriture de son plateau à sa bouche va l'aider à vivre plus indépendamment.

La même limitation restreint MK d'atteindre ses breuvages/manettes/téléphone/sonnerie d'appel (ex, bouger ses objets du bord du plateau plus près). Avoir une solution qui résout les deux objectifs est idéal mais pas requis.


MK is constrained to a wheelchair with a tray, from which she eat her meals on. Due to MK's limited arm range, she has difficulty eating her meals with no assistant. Although she can hold utensils or a stylus, the action of bringing food to her mouth is a challenge. Having a device that can assist in delivering different types of foods from her tray to her mouth will help her live more independently.

The same limitation restrict MK from reaching for drinks/ remote controls/ phone/ call bell (e.g. move these items from edge of tray closer). Having a solution that tackles both objective is ideal but not required.
