When someone has broken their neck, initially bedrest is often used and then support is needed till the bones heal. This neck collar was made for this patient in the P&O dept. The devise holding the spoon is a palmar pocket and is used by many people who cannot grip things well eg due to a broken neck or post-polio residual paraplysis. It can also hold a fork, comb, toothbrush etc.
