Several manufacturers make cutlery with square, round, oval, or built-up handles of varying lengths in light, standard, or heavy weights. Shop around to find which version is best for you. If you have trouble moving your wrist, fingers, or arm, try a fork or spoon with a swivel or self-leveling mechanism. Extension spoons and forks to assist with limited range of motion can be set at any angle.
Utensils designed to be attached to the palm rather than gripped also are avail able.

A person with use of only one hand can cut food easily by rocking a Nelson knife back and forth across the food. An ordinary pizza cutter can be sharpened and used as a one-handed food cutter. Combination utensils are convenient if you don't use both hands, or if coordination is a problem.
