The typical feeding skills are considered to be eating from a spoonful, and imbibition from a cup and simple activities are difficult for Parkinson's patients. The present study investigates the development of this acquirement in Parkinson's patients of feeding spoon thought out improves on the concept design of feeding spoon, where it can be helpful for patients. In return this can help to improve the future work in designing and fabrication for any instrument to control tremor trembling allowing the patient to practice their delay rotten. Feeding spoon device can provide accurate and diagnostically relevant information about postural tremor. Its portability and ease of use could help translate such techniques into routine clinic use or to the community. With this study it is shown that 70% of improvement in skill assistance spoon feeding compared with ordinary spoon. It is apparent that the developed model can improve the feeding process and make it easier on the patient.
