My husband has bad tremors with his Parkinson's and finds it hard to not spill his food. He asks for these each meal time. He uses mostly the fork and large spoon and sometimes the knife ( I try to cut up most of his meat ) but these have been most helpful. He has had them now for nearly a year and with the added weight, they seem to be very helpful in steadying his hand somewhat. My only suggestion, would be to have a set with just a fork and spoon. I want to get him a second set, but don't need the 2 other knives and small spoon. I do recommend these utensils. They work just like they are suppose too.
