Koor can help people to be more comfortable when they are eating including people with:

1. Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing, often seen in stroke patients or those with neurological conditions. Koor allows you to eat with your chin down making the eating process safer.
2. Parkinson’s Disease: Tremors and motor control issues can make handling traditional containers challenging. Koor is easy to use and reduce the risk of spillage
3. Maxillofacial Surgery Recovery: Patients recovering from surgery need easy-to-use containers. Koor is perfect for that and allows to eat purred food easily.
4. Arthritis: Joint pain and stiffness can make opening and closing containers difficult.
5. Cerebral Palsy: Motor control issues can affect the ability to handle standard containers. See below a review from an accessibility consultant.
6. Stroke: Post-stroke patients may experience weakness or lack of coordination.
7. Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Muscle weakness and coordination problems can impact container usage.
8. Elderly Population: Age-related conditions like reduced grip strength and dexterity. People are more confortable and independent with koor that being spoon fed.
9. Visual Impairments: Low vision or blindness may require containers with tactile or audible features. Koor makes a “click” sound when opened or closed.
10. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Sensory sensitivities might require easy-to-handle containers. Koors reduce also the smell of the food and allow people to be confortable with the same container everyday.
11. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis): Progressive muscle weakness can make using traditional containers difficult.
12. Spinal Cord Injuries: Limited hand function may necessitate specially designed containers.
13. Hand Tremors: Conditions causing hand tremors, such as essential tremor, can benefit from stable, easy-to-use containers.
14. Muscular Dystrophy: Muscle weakness and degeneration can make handling containers challenging.
15. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammation and pain in the joints can affect grip and dexterity.
16. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerve compression in the wrist can make gripping and handling containers difficult.
17. Chronic Pain Conditions: Conditions causing chronic pain can affect the ability to use standard containers comfortably.

As someone with limited hand mobility, I often struggle with opening and closing traditional food containers. I found Koor’s refillable container to be incredibly practical that allows me to open and close it without much force using only one hand.

The handle and lid are designed with enough size to easily grip, and the audible click lets me know when it’s securely opened or closed. The self-closing lid prevents spills, which makes carrying it in my bag stress-free.

I use it to eat yogurt without a spoon or thicker smoothies, which is convenient to eat at my desk while working. It’s also great for traveling—I’ve used it to store things like hand cream or sunscreen, which is easier to dispense using Koor.
