The Effect of Adjustable Walking Aids on Balance

Walking sticks are devices used by people who have difficulty in walking. They are very useful to those who have had a temporary injury or wound and find it difficult to walk on their own or by those who have had a permanent disability and need a support at all times. They are also preferred by a lot of elders who find it reassuring to walk with the help of a walking stick. There are several models available including the simple single cane, foldable sticks, 3 legged or tripod sticks, 4 legged or quadripod sticks, sticks with a seat attached etc. A wider base ensures better stability. The weight of the person is evenly distributed throughout the four legs. This will perfectly balance the person‘s steps giving greater support when compared to other models.

If the walking stick is solely for helping to keep the balance, then a standard wooden or aluminium stick is the most appropriate choice. Mobility Aids For Seniors are lightweight and offer an extra point of contact with the ground, giving a larger base of support for helping to keep the balance. On the other hand, if you need a walking cane to bear weight either for an injury, recovery from surgery, or to ease arthritic hip or knee pain then an offset cane will provide the stability you need. The offset handle allows you to lean more weight onto the cane’s shaft. For significant weight bearing, look for a quad cane. An offset quad cane provides four extra points of contact with the ground and can hold more weight than a single-point cane.

Adjustable sticks come in a wide variety of colors and shapes. People who are blind to certain colors can easily find a stick of a color of their choice. There are also sticks in neutral colors that can match any type of clothing, and are perfect for using in a corporate meeting, seminar, parties or even for

Best Walking Cane for Leg Injuries

Walking sticks and canes have been a part of society for centuries. Whether using a walking stick to help keep pace and balance in nature walking along hiking trails, a colorful wardrobe accessory, or to help walk around due to health issues a walking cane can be useful. Canes have been seen as symbols of authority and used as weapons with hidden knives or built in stun guns in some of the more modern canes. A walking stick has four parts, the handle, the band, the shaft, and the ferrule. The handle is typically the most glorified piece and can be constructed of ornamental metals, carved bone or antler, carved wood, crystal, or any other type of ornate finishing touch can think of. The band joins the handle to the shaft if they’re different materials such as a metal handle on a wooden shaft. A ferrule is located at the bottom of the stick or cane as the tip and is sometimes the same material as the handle and is used to protect the end of the stick.

Walking Canes is probably the most common mobility device prescribed for seniors. When used properly, a walking cane will increase the base of support and reduce strain on the legs and back as it helps to move forward. A walking cane requires enough strength in the arm, since the arm must partially support the body’s weight. If they have a slight problem with balance or instability, some weakness in the leg or some pain from a condition like rheumatoid arthritis, a cane may be enough to help the compensate and provide support.

Most canes are made of hardwood or aluminum. The most familiar walking cane style is the straight-tip style with a C-shaped or crook handle and a single rubber-capped bottom. This basic style is usually inexpensive, but if they have hand pain or discomfort, they may find it difficult to grasp. A walking cane with a functional offset handle, contoured similar to the gripping hand, is more easily grasped and provides better support. Other straight-tip canes may have different handle styles such as 

ball-shaped, slanted or stirrup-like. An ortho-cane has a palm grip with a curved staff on top for a firmer grip and better balance.
