Stamina Products is proud to receive the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation for three
tness products: inStride® Total Body Cycle (15-0176), inStride® Folding Cycle (15-0128), and Avari®
Programmable Magnetic Elliptical (A550-705). Stamina designed the products to be user-friendly for
millions of people living with arthritis who are interested in exercising. Exercise is a proven way to relieve
arthritis pain and improve joint function.

What is it the Ease-of-Use Commendation?

The Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of Use Commendation recognizes products proven to make life easier for
people who have arthritis and other physical limitations. Independently tested by experts and evaluated
by people with arthritis, Ease-of-Use products are easy to use by everyone.

How are products tested?

The process begins with the manufacturer, who submits a product to the Arthritis Foundation seeking
expert evaluation of its product. The Arthritis Foundation partners with the Georgia Tech Research

Institute, whose scientists, experienced in the design and evaluation of products, conduct tests to nd out

if the products are easy to use for someone with arthritis. The answer results from a three-step testing
process.

Each product is evaluated by a team of scientists, who test the product against a number of “pass”

or “fail” requirements specic to the type of product under evaluation. For example, how easy it is to

open a medicine bottle or to operate a stationary bike?

Then the scientists assess and establish user tasks based on every manner in which someone with

arthritis might use the product, from the point at which the product is removed from the packaging –
yes, the package itself is evaluated – through multiple uses.

Finally, a team of eight testers who have moderate-to-severe arthritis are evaluated for grip, torque

and muscle strength, endurance, pinch force and range of motion. The testers then get to open and
use the product, and then each tester is interviewed by the team of scientists.

How do products earn the Ease-of-Use seal?

To garner a “favorable” grade from GTRI and become eligible for the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use

Commendation, a product must meet the following criteria:

A “pass” rating on all the checklist evaluation items, at least ve or eight testers must be able to use

it with little or no difculty; and

No more than one of eight testers should experience great difculty using the product.

The Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation identies tested and trusted products. Look for
the logo when you’re shopping for anything from groceries to ofce supplies, gardening tools to cooking

utensils, and exercise equipment to medication and other health aids. To learn more about the program
and products that carry the Ease-of Use Commendation, visit arthritis.org/easeofuse.
