Prototype 22

This is a spoon we bought in the "Hema" to know which surface we should use for the spoon. This spoon is normally used for little children and is therefore very good for her teeth. It certainly doesn't need an extra coating layer to be sure that her teeth won't be damaged. If this spoon surface is okay, we need to make some kind of clicking system, so this type of spoon can be clicked into the right handle.

Test (29/04/'16)
Expected positive:
- Made of plastic
- Strong enough plastic
- Spoon surface is deep enough

Unexpected positive:
/

Expected negative:
- Spoon surface is too small

Unexpected negative:
/

Score: Brenda/ Tiene gave us a score of 6 / 10

Prototype 21

This is also a spoon we bought in the "Action" to know which surface we should use for the spoon. If this spoon is okay, it has the advantage that it is very easy to make a fitting handle (clasping it into the spoon). This spoon is normally used for parties so people can eat with their fingers (see picture). A disadvantage might be that it's not very stiff.

Test (27/04/'16)
Expected positive:
- Made of plastic
- Good size of spoon surface

Unexpected positive:
/

Expected negative:
- Even more fragile than "Prototype 20", therefore it will break too easily, because Brenda uses a lot of force when biting of her food.

Unexpected negative:
/

Score: Brenda/ Tiene gave us a score of 3 / 10

Prototype 19

Prototype based on "Prototype 16"
This prototype is made with the same materials as "Prototype 16", but with a different form to check if this would be better. The inside of the pillow is foam (PU) to keep the form and it is filled with the stuffings of a pillow.

Prototype 18

Prototype based on "Prototype 5"
Another pillow we made to see if this form will be better. This pillow doesn't have any foam inside.

Prototype 17

Prototype based on "Prototype 16" and "Prototype 5"
The pillow is the same idea like "Prototype 16", with (hopefully) a better form so it will be more comfortable. It has some textile in it with velcro so her arm will stay in its place (just like "Prototype 5"). The pillow is attached to a wooden plate that has about the same size as her table plate. It has some velcro straps on it, so we can easily attach her plate on it to check if she could eat independently if her plate is fixed to her table (so it can't move).

Prototype 16

Prototype based on "Prototype 5"
This prototype is a new elbow support. This pillow should give more support than "Prototype 5" because it has foam (PU) inside. It also has some felt to make it more soft and comfortable. The big side should be under her armpit, so her elbow can't move towards her chest anymore.

Test (15/04/'16)

Expected positive:

- It fits on the table

- She didn't immediately dislike it, she gave it a chance to try

Unexpected positive:

/ 

Expected negative:

/ 

Unexpected negative:

- The pillow was too high, so it wasn't comfortable to rest her elbow on it

- The form wasn't ideal either

Score: Brenda/ Tiene gave us a score of 6/10

It's the kind of support she has in mind for the elbow, but it's not comfortable and it has the wrong height and form. 

This picture is an example Tiene gave us of what form the elbow support should really have (height, form of the hand, ...)
