Description
The patented tri-pod base design provides enhanced mobility and maneuvering over such terrain as sand, pavement, grass, stairs, and gravel. One of the best features of this item is that it helps your cane stand up by itself in the upright position which can make your cane self-standing. It also flexes as you walk, reducing the stress impact on the users hand, wrist, and elbow. Please note that the tripod base is not intended for use on ice or snow or in other slippery conditions and is not to be used on folding canes.
Specifications
The ergonomically designed base weighs 8+ ounces and stands up on its own, providing maximum stability and function to the cane. Composed of a durable, specially weighted rubber compound, great care was taken to control the right amount of flexibility, giving the base its remarkable performance.
Stairs are now easily managed. Quad canes need to be turned sideways on stairs, making the user uncomfortable and in some cases fearful. The AbleTripodCaneÖ gives the user confidence to negotiate even the narrowest steps. The stress of impact on the user's hand is greatly reduced by the AbleTripodCaneÖ's base, which flexes as you walk. The stability of the AbleTripodCaneÖ's base is not compromised whether on sand, grass, or earth, whereas typical canes may sink into the ground. The AbleTripodCaneÖ can be used in ways that no other cane can: its unique design enables the user to lean into the cane, experiencing both support and balance. The ability to lateralize gives the user a unique feeling of confidence that quad canes are not capable of providing. The aesthetically pleasing design enables both left and right-handed people to use the same cane without adjustment. The AbleTripodCaneÖ is currently being used at several University Hospitals and Rehabilitation Centers.
