Able Tripod Cane
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 AbleTripodCane™
gives the user confidence to negotiate even the narrowest steps.
The stress of impact on the user's hand is greatly reduced by
the AbleTripodCane™'s base, which flexes as you walk. The stability
of the AbleTripodCane™'s base is not compromised whether on
sand, grass, or earth, whereas typical canes may sink into the
ground. The AbleTripodCane™ 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 AbleTripodCane™ is currently
being used at several University Hospitals and Rehabilitation
Centers.
