Summary

This study tests a robotic feeding device called Obi Gen 3 for people who have trouble using their arms or hands due to conditions like cerebral palsy, ALS, or Rett syndrome. About 50 participants, including patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, will use the device at home or school for one week. They will then fill out surveys and some will be interviewed to see how easy and helpful the device is. The goal is to make sure the device works well before it is made more widely available.
