Disease cerebral palsy (CP) or known as a brain disease that causes paralysis of limbs reduced mobility, still a scourge in the developing world. Diseases caused by genetic factors as well as cytomegalovirus infection in the womb can reach 1.7 to 2.5 per 1000 live births.
The high CP patients is apparently not accompanied by the availability of adequate facilities such as roads, eating, and toilet. This causes the quality of life of patients with CP is low, as is the case in Indonesia.
More recently, a researcher from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Gadjah Mada named Sri Hartini, managed to obtain Hak Atas Kekayaan Inteletual (HAKI) for his discovery of a spoon specifically for people with CP. This spoon is different from a regular tablespoon who do not have a point of curvature and cross retaining fingers.
Spoon CP has a certain curvature angle and has a retaining bolt on the stem. "People with CP is very difficult to hold and hold of something. More so when they eat, patients often can not do it alone. With this spoon, the patient can do it yourself, "said Sri in Yogyakarta.
This innovation started in 2010 which tested on 51 children CP in Yogyakarta. Initial research shows the distance between the fingers to the mouth of the patient about 0-11 centimeters, the angle at the elbow range of 45 to 90 degrees. With these results, the curvature of the stalk spoon and spoon head suitable for CP patients was 135 degrees.
Privileged again tablespoon this is the latch bolt stem made of rosewood. Its function is to hold the fingers of CP patients who experienced stiffness, deficiency holding and grasping functions. Cross brace is durable, lightweight, and does not contain chemicals.
"Once tested, CP patients seen no difficulty when eating something. Even with this spoon, they can do it independently, "she said. He added, with the tablespoon is expected quality of life of patients with CP in Indonesia increased.
