Adaptive chopping board and knife
What is an adaptive chopping board and knife?
An adaptive chopping board and knife has specific features that make it easier, safer, and more comfortable to chop up food.
The chopping board often has an adaptation to make keeping the food in one place easier, while the knife usually features a soft, wide grip, or two handles that help you avoid injury.
An adaptive chopping board and knife is ideal if you have a hand tremor, a weak grip, low muscle tone, pain, or fatigue.
