| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sizes of the spoon to the food capturing function.
Strain gauge is fitted to the handle of the spoon. It measured the distortion of the spoon by contact of the lips and the operation of the hand.
Pressure sensor is fitted to the center of the spoon's bowl. It measured pressure with lips of foods capturing.
Subject of this study was a healthy adult, adults with mentally disabilities and children(1-year-old to 5-years-old).
From the results, spoon with deep bowl makes longer duration of lip pressure. Spoon with long bowl makes long duration of spoon distortion.
Healthy adults control the fit of equipment and food capturing by operation of the upper limb and lip's control.
The pattern of pressure with lips of foods capturing were irregular in mentally handicapped adult. And also distortion of the spoon by contact of the lips and the operation of the hand patterns were irregular, too.
Result shows that spoon operation of adult with mental disabilities parsons don't have coordinated movement pattern.
In a study of children, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the developmental process of food capturing function and operating patterns in spoon operation. In result, 5-year-old child and it was smaller than the difference in the number of items. Coordinated movement of the mouth and hand to change qualitatively in the five-year-olds became clear.
