Independent eating and drinking with multiple sclerosis

Daily living aids and helpful features

Problems with sensitivity, numbness or tingling in the arms, legs and torso can limit the movements that are required in everyday life. Eating soup becomes a challenge, particularly when the visual disturbances typical of MS occur, limiting perception of contrast and sharpness. Due to active assistance by features hidden in the design the functional tableware by ORNAMIN supports to maintain and encourage independence of people concerned.

Multiple sclerosis tableware by ORNAMIN

ORNAMIN Plate with Sloped Base

Due to the sloped base and discreet overhang the food gets easier onto the spoon or fork. A non-slip ring under the base provides for a firm stand. The plates are dishwasher safe and available in three sizes.

ORNAMIN Non-slip Cup with Flower

The lid is intuitively useable, you can drink from all sides. It “disappears” discreetly inside the mug and is combinable with many ORNAMIN mugs.

ORNAMIN Non-Slip Board

The Non-Slip Board is one-handed useable. A rim with raised edges on three sides offers stable stand, a non-slip ring under the base prevents a slice of bread from slipping.

Support

Safe eating despite shaking

The practical tremor spoon guard ensures that food stays securely on the spoon. The spoon guard compensates shaking and is a great relief while eating for people with shaky hands. It fits onto any common spoon and offers a pleasant feeling while eating thanks to its flexible material.

For people living with MS the special tableware by ORNAMIN is a real help. During the development of the features everything was kept in mind and ideas were well executed, for example, ergonomic grip pads on the cups.

Tricks for independent eating and drinking with multiple sclerosis

Coordination and mobility disorder are highly common among MS patients and can also be tackled with constant practice. The functional tableware by ORNAMIN aims to preserve independence. With the non-slip ring under the base of the plate with sloped base and the non-slip board eating becomes a lot easier and the mugs with internal cone support independent drinking with hidden features.

In addition, colour contrasts between table, plate and food help to aid fading vision. The resulting colour and decor design is especially important for the ORNAMIN tableware with features.

When dealing with dysphagia, replacing spouted lids with drinking lids can be helpful. Those also prevent spilling, support the natural swallowing process and are more discreet.
