Tuesday, February 14, 2006
Here are some good qualities in brief, which should be kept in mind before choosing a walking cane.
Brand: A very important factor to look into when choosing a good walking cane is that the cane should be of a very good brand. It should be come from a reputable manufacturer, one that can be trusted to reliably help you or your loved ones with your mobility needs.
Hand grip: A variety of handles of walking canes are available to choose from, but no matter the style the cane should have a comfortable and easy to grip palm grip handle. If you are to be using the cane in hot weather you should know that your hand may sweat and if the handle of the cane is not easy to grip or absorbent, you or the cane may run the risk of slipping. Thus the handle of the walking cane should be easy to grip and absorbent so that the chances of slipping can be avoided. Moreover the handle should also have shock absorbing power to bear the brunt of your weight.
Proper length: The length of the stick or the walking cane should be according to the height of the user. The length of the cane is so that if one user holds the handle of the cane then he should feel himself comfortable with the cane while walking i.e. a perfect height from wrist to the walking floor.
Strength: The cane should be strong, straight and in up right position, so that the cane provides proper stability and balance during walking. And also help in proper redistribution of the weight from the injured and weak parts of the body. So that the bones and joints of the legs feel relaxed.
Good base: The lower portion of the walking cane should be very well designed, because it is the part which comes in contact with the floor during when wakling. The rubber attached at the bottom should be non slippery. Some canes like the Quad canes, the bottom consists of four points so as better help the balance of the user. This is good if you are unsteady on your feet or want more stability when walking.
