Introducing Brisky, an innovative rehabilitation tool designed specifically for individuals with hemiparesis. This unique chopstick aid allows patients to regain independence and confidence by enabling self-feeding while simultaneously exercising their hand muscles. Unlike existing chopstick aids that require strong fine motor skills, Brisky can be used from the early stages of recovery, providing essential fine motor training right from the start. Starting rehabilitation as early as possible provides the best chance for optimal recovery, as delaying rehabilitation makes it harder to achieve the best results.

Brisky features a two-stage design: the initial stage requires minimal muscle control, using primarily the thenar muscle, allowing for immediate use during early rehabilitation. As patients progress, they can transition to the second stage, which introduces a more advanced aid that demands greater fine motor skills, thus accompanying them throughout their entire recovery journey.

Crafted with food-grade PET, glass fiber, and TPU materials, Brisky ensures safety and durability. The design also includes a textured grip to prevent food from slipping and an anti-shake feature to counteract muscle weakness. The convenient and portable storage cover, made from food-grade TPU, is suitable for various scenarios, easy to clean, and durable. This comprehensive approach not only addresses physical rehabilitation needs but also enhances psychological well-being by fostering independence and improving self-esteem.

With a focus on the Asian market, where chopsticks are a daily utensil, Brisky has the potential to significantly improve the lives of many, making everyday activities more accessible and enjoyable. This rehabilitation tool stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful design in transforming lives and promoting holistic recovery.
