Today we’ll be discussing a few walking cane accessories like rubber cane tips, cane holders, ice grips, wrist straps, and folding cane carrying bags. This will be a two part article.
Rubber Cane Tip
A worn out rubber cane tip can be very dangerous. It’s sort of like a car with bald tires. The rubber tips on your cane prevents you from slipping on slippery surfaces. You can avoid an accident by replacing your walking cane's rubber tip frequently. Always keep replacement rubber cane tips on hand so if you check your cane and see that the tips need replacing, you can do it right away. Rubber cane tips are one of the most important cane accessories to have. In fact, their hardly an accessory, more like a required part of having a walking cane.
Note that some canes do not come with a rubber tip and these canes should be avoided if you use a cane for balance or stability. Brass tipped canes, for example, may look very nice, but will not do much to protect you from a fall.
Cane holders
Walking cane holders lets you keep your walking cane safe and upright. A cane holder balances your walking cane on any flat surface like a table, desk or counter. This protects the walking cane from falling on the floor, being stepped on, or broken. It also makes it easier to pick back up when you next need to use it, rather than it being on the floor, it will be easily accessible right where you left it.
One added feature of many walking cane holders is that they come with reflectors. A reflector is an extra bit of security because when you walk at night, the reflector band on your walking cane holder will reflect the light off vehicle headlights making you more visible to nighttime drivers. This added security can let you walk without fear of being hit at night.
Most walking cane holders can be fitted to any size cane and is also easily removable. It can then be fitted to another walking cane in few seconds.
