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

Choosing A Cane And Using It Properly

Walking sticks are very useful for the elderly or those recovering from illness and need extra support. The legs provide a better stability than single leg sticks. Using a cane properly is not difficult but there are some important things to consider when buying and using a cane. If recovering from an injury, experiencing reduced mobility due to the aging process, or have a chronic condition. Able to put four sturdy legs on the ground rather than just one, this Walking Stick provides exceptional stability but with the convenience of a one-handed walking stick. Each leg of the walking stick is tipped with a non-marking, slip-resistant rubber ferrule and the ergonomically shaped handle ensures a secure grip at all times. The sticks height can be raised or lowered to suit the users size and posture.

Walking canes may be classified as one of the earliest Aids For Mobility. Yet, the look of these centuries old walking aids has evolved significantly from their appearance as medical apparatus. An aluminum, medical cane with single or quad footing or a beautiful, decorative cane that offers style, colors and stability, the handle should be an important consideration in the selection process. The shape and curvature of the handle allows an individual’s weight to be distributed over the palm of the hands and the cane shaft rather than over the fingers, which can be less stable and possibly produce finger pain.

When using a cane, it should always be held in the hand opposite of the leg that needs support. For example, if knee pain is on the left side, use this cane in the right hand. The cane should then move forward as step forward with the bad leg.

Underarm Crutches for Handicapped People

A mobility aid is a device designed to assist walking or otherwise improve the mobility of people with a mobility impairment.

There are various walking aids which can help people with impaired ability to walk and Underarm Crutches or Arm Crutches for more severe disability or longer journeys which would otherwise be undertaken on foot. For people who are blind or visually impaired the white cane and guide dog have a long history of use. Other aids can help with mobility or transfer within a building or where there are changes of level.

Underarm crutches are hand crafted from high-tensile aluminum or titanium tubing and are innovative in many ways :

Our Price : Rs 90

• First of all, our custom underarm crutches have much larger and safer foot print (dual tipped, patent pending) stated by “Cripple Children’s Canada” to be  the newest innovation in crutches in 20 years. The two foot design also eliminates the weak point where the side tubes and the bottom tube comes together.

• Secondly, the handholds and underarm supports are shaped from solid, marine grade, high density plastic and are virtually indestructible. The underarm supports have been carefully shaped to securely hold the crutch in place when walking while significantly reducing underarm chafe. Underarm and handheld padding can be easily added.

• And thirdly, they are available in both titanium and high tensile aluminum tubing. The aluminum tubing, though almost as strong as titanium, allows us to make these crutches for less than half the price of an equivalent titanium crutch. And as a bonus, they are unbelievably light.

Benefits of underarm crutches:

• Improved comfort
• Ease of use
• Prevention of axillary nerve damage or axillary nerve palsy
• Provide a more neutral/natural (ergonomic) position of the hand and wrist
• Improved agility and walking speed
• Easier and safer to ascend and descend stairs
• Improved posture
• Allows for a variety of walking styles (gaits)
• Improved stability over rough or uneven surfaces
• Smaller and more compact for travel
• Typically lighter in weight
• Modern and aesthetically pleasing designs
