-
I have a client who, due to chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, presents weakness and a resting tremor in his hands, which makes eating with utensils more difficult. What are some types of utensils or strategies to assist with these problems? In other words, how can he successfully get the food from plate to mouth? He does fine with finger foods, it's just those requiring a utensil that are more challenging.
