Many people living with neurological disorders, such as cerebral palsy,stroke, muscular dystrophy or dystonia experience upper limb impairments(muscle spasticity, loss of selective motor control, muscle weakness ortremors) and have difficulty to eat independently. The general goal of thisproject is to develop a new device to assist with eating, aimed at stabilizingthe movement of people who have movement disorders. A first iteration of thedevice was validated with children living with cerebral palsy and showedpromising results. This validation however pointed out important drawbacks.This paper presents an iteration of the design which includes a new mechanismreducing the required arm elevation, improving safety through a compliantutensil attachment, and improving damping and other static balancing factors.
