DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia — Uplift Technologies announced last week that a portion of its May 2011 lift seat sales will be donated to support arthritis research.

Recently, several Uplift products were awarded the "Ease-of-Use Commendation" after passing stringent tests developed by the Arthritis Foundation and conducted at the Georgia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta.

"Our products lessen the impact arthritis can have on daily living," Michele Fash, the company's marketing manager, said in a release, "and research is critical to develop the tools that will help the millions affected by arthritis."
