ABSTRACT:
A specialized handle for hand held utensils adapted for use by individuals including those having physical impairments such as arthritis or poor motor skill functions is provided. The specialized handle which is typically formed from an elastomeric or plastic material has a substantial rectangular shape in cross-section along a first end and along a second end. The body of the handle has a narrow first end and an enlarged second end wherein the body tapers downwardly from the second end to the first end. The handle is also provided with a plurality of radially extending flanges located along the first end which provide a positive stop which precludes the undesired movement of the user's hand beyond the first end.
