What's happening at Stanford with a small control group

Research study 1: We are thrilled to announce that Stanford University launches a study on the benefits of using an Alinker for a trial for total knee replacement participants (see https://alinker.stanford.edu). This particular study is with a control group of any person receiving knee arthroplasty between the age of 18-99 and is a patient of Dr. Derek Amanatullah, Joint Replacement Clinic, Stanford University. This study group will use an online platform for data collection. 

This is where you come in

Research study 2: The online platform used for this study, allows us to open up participation in this research for all Alinker users interested in being a part of this Alinker study, supporting our anecdotal testimonials showing the benefits of the Alinker to improve quality of life and cost saving on cascading medical expenses. The extended research group has now reached the minimum number of participants to be a valid study and this campaign is to make sure that the analyses will be valid. We invite you all to join this extended research group. It is important to also have a good mix of existing and new Alinker users. 

With this research we hope to get scientific data to show that use of the Alinker has a positive effect on your health. The minimum amount of time to participate is 6 months, but the research will go longer. 

We want to honour your commitment to this study with a very special offer                                                                  to people who yet have to get their own Alinker. 

When you secure your spot now, you get an exclusive chance to purchase your Alinker for just USD $2070 plus shipping.  (Regular price USD $2570)* (for Canadians CAD $2747 plus shipping - regular price CAD $3347)

Be fast to act, because this special offer is valid till the 2nd May only and for a limited number of participants.

You can secure your spot now by adding USD $25 to this campaign.
