If you know someone that suffers from arthritis and is limited to simple tasks such as walking, cooking or grocery shopping, you might want to keep reading about the following devices. According to WebMD's article “Assistive Devices for Arthritis Sufferers,” there have been many devices created to help those that suffer from arthritis. These devices range from ones that help you eat to others that help you open doors. There are touch or voice activated lamps, utensils created with wide grip foam handles, jar openers, shoes with Velcro grips, etc.

For some, these items may not be considered 'new', but the industry has just created a new logo to be placed on certain food packages as well. It is meant to help identify user-friendly products for those with arthritis. The logo is called “Ease-of-Use Commendation” and if you would like to see what it looks like or want a complete list of products that bear this logo please visit the http://www.arthritis.org/.

Next time you visit your local supermarket keep your eyes open for the new logo!
