Arthrogryposis Spoon

In my first ever engineering design project in college, my team of three had to create a spoon that people suffering from arthrogryposis could use. Arthrogryposis is a condition where people affected experience chronic joint stiffness and thus balancing and moving a spoon becomes a challenging task. Our solution was to create a right-handed arm sleeve that the spoon attaches to, and the spoon itself has a lid that can be covered and uncovered with the motion of the thumb.
