Caregivers risk incurring a injury each time meal assistance is provided (push-pull-shove-twist).
Caregivers feel more like “hired muscle” than “givers-of-care” when assisting a seated person up-to the table.

The ‘Trip Zone‘ is the area around the front of table into which a person needing assistance must navigate. Trips and falls occur often in this area as both the senior and caregivers are expected to:
(1) shuffle sideways
(2) step backwards
(3) lean on the table
for balance as they are helped into the chair.

I can lock/unlock myself as I move around the kitchen!
