#PancakeDay with RA

10 Replies

We took to the local High Street and asked the public to flip pancakes!

The challenge was to flip a pancake, firstly as they would normally, and then with our RA glove which simulates what it is like to have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) so that they could see the difference.

Every single person said how much more difficult it was to hold the pan, let alone flip the pancake.

That's fantastic! What does the RA glove do exactly? Does it restrict movement? How does it work?

in reply toanastasia43

Hi anastasia43 , these gloves were made by Georgia Institute of Technology to replicate RA - so in answer to your question they absolutely do restrict movement.

Thanks,

Katie-NRAS :)
