Woman invents cup to help her uncle who suffers from Parkinson’s disease

Shared by Ana Duarte on 2016-09-15 14:56

About the solution

The Nospill is a spill-proof cup to prevent people who have tremors from spilling their drinks. The invention is curved inward at the top to deflect the liquid back inside the cup in the event of a tremor. It also has a larger-than-normal handle.

“I made sure to make the cup something someone would actually want to use in public, rather than creating an antiseptic medical device that would make one feel more self-conscious. It looks like a cup that could be used by any clumsy person — and that makes it much more comforting for a person with Parkinson's to use”, Mileha explained.

The designer started working on her invention after she saw her uncle suffering from the shame of his condition. “He used to be the center of attention at all the family reunions, then he started to hide behind others. He hid from the pity he saw in people’s eyes”, she expressed.

After observing her uncle and interviewing him, in order to understand his limitations and needs, she designed the cup, which not only helps preventing the user from spilling drink, but it also helps them blend in socially.

“You have to imagine and create objects that meet the needs of people who are sick, who have disabilities”, Mileha observed.

The cup is easy to carry around, and can be bought online.

    A guaranteed approval payday loans no telecheck occupies the first place among the simplest loan options in terms of requirements. The main thing you should have is the regular income to be able to repay the loan on the due date. Payday lenders aren’t interested much in how you are going to spend this amount of money. It is up to you to decide if the Bad Credit Personal Loans
    situation you have faced really requires such radical measures as getting a payday advance online.

    After my PD diagnosis, I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex and sinemet as the disease progressed but didn’t help much. In July last year, I started on PARKINSON DISEASE TREATMENT PROTOCOL from Herbal Health Point (ww w. herbalhealthpoint. c om). Few months into the treatment, I made a significant recovery. After I completed the recommended treatment plan, almost all my symptoms were gone, had wonderful improvement with my movement and tremors . Its been 6 months since I completed the treatment, I live a better life

    I was around 58 when my thumb started giving me problems. As time passed i had other symptoms; hand tremors, restless sleep, muscle weakness, cognitive decline, voice spasm, stiff achy right arm and ankle. At 60 i was diagnose of PARKINSONS DISEASE, i was on Carbidopa and Pramipexole for two years, they helped alot but not for long. As the disease progressed my symptoms worsened, with my neurologist guidance i started on natural alternative PARKINSONS DISEASE treatment from M.H.C. (Mayaka Natural Clinic), the treatment worked very effectively, my severe symptoms simply vanished, i feel better now than I have ever felt and i can feel my strength again. Visit ww w. mayakanaturalclinic. c om. c om. My neurologist was very open when looking at alternative medicines and procedures, this alternative parkinson disease treatment is a breakthrough.

    My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 59. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge)  him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from TREE OF LIFE HEALTH CLINIC, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the TREE OF LIFE HEALTH Parkinson's disease natural herbal formula. He is now  almost 61 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!  (w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com)

    Parkinson's disease is a nervous system disorder that causes you to lose control of your movements. The disease typically begins slowly and progresses over time. You may tremble, have muscle stiffness, and have difficulty walking and keeping your balance and coordination if you have Parkinson's disease. As the condition progresses, you may encounter difficulty speaking, sleeping, thinking and memory issues, behavioural changes, and other symptoms.

    My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Herbal Protocol. She started on the Parkinson’s Treatment last year, her symptoms gradually diminished including her Tremors, Body Weakness and Muscle Pains. Reach them at healthnaturalcentre.org , She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back )she have also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!! God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
