Product Information

Offset handle is ideal for people who need more support while walking. It helps to distribute the weight evenly and also provides more grip. It is ideal for people with arthritis or other hand problems. Handles can also aid in stability. “The handles can vary in that they can be a straight handle or a rounded, ‘candy cane handle,’” Dr. Marko says. “This preference varies by user, but some might feel more stable with one over the other.” Considering the handle when selecting a walking cane will help increase the usability of the device for yourself and your needs. Innovative design that shifts the weight from your wrist to the forearm providing optimal balance, support and comfort and improving your posture

Function grip is a special grip that helps you to hold the cane securely while walking on uneven surfaces. It is also easier to walk on stairs with a function grip cane. The StrongArm cane is an upgrade from the Doosl walking cane, which we named as our Editor’s Choice, in terms of its handle and support. It supports up to 500 lbs. and has a uniquely designed handle with hand and forearm grip, for ergonomic support. The Doosl is best designed for lighter people who don’t need as much support. The grip of the handle affects how much pressure is put on the hand. The grip should be large enough to distribute the weight evenly over the hand. Selecting the right type of cane often depends on the individual and their personal needs for the device. “Which cane someone will use depends on their balance and support needs,” says Theresa Marko, DPT, a spokesperson for the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and founder of Marko Physical Therapy. She recommends visiting with a physical therapist, as the expert can assist you in determining what type of cane might work best. Walking canes need to be altered towards your height for best use, otherwise using the device could cause pain or discomfort. “The standard measurement guide is that the handle should fall, when you are standing next to the cane, right at the crease of your wrist,” Dr. Hornyak recommends. “Then when you put your hand up on the handle of the cane, that creates about a 30-degree angle at your elbow. That has been shown to provide a nice base of support.”The first is T-handle, this type of handle is the most popular, it is ideal for people with arthritis or other hand problems. It is also comfortable to use for long walks. Rubber tip is the most popular type of tip. It is durable and provides good traction. It is suitable for use on all types of surfaces. The handle of the cane is also an important consideration. You should choose a cane with a handle that is comfortable for you. This will help you to grip the cane correctly and also prevent your hand from slipping. There are different types of cane handles available today. However, a cane’s placement does not matter as much if you are using it for balance. “If one is using a cane for balance, it does not matter which side you hold the cane on,” Dr. Marko says. “Generally, people probably will use their dominant hand to hold it.” Rubber grip is firm and provides good support. It is durable, slip-resistant and easy to clean. However, it may not be as comfortable to hold as a foam grip.

You are relying on these devices for support, so they must be sturdy enough to provide that balance and support when used. One way that the device increases its sturdiness is the size of its base. The wider the base, the more the device will provide balance support as you walk. Also, the material used at the bottom of the cane’s feet is important for sturdiness. “You always want to make sure that your cane has a rubber tip on the bottom so that it has good traction to the floor to not slip out from under you while you are using it,” Dr. Marko says. We evaluated each device for the type of cane, its weight, sturdiness, ease of use, and adjustability. Other nice-to-have features included soft, padded handles, folding designs for storage, and wrist straps, which help keep the cane nearby when your hands are busy with keys, a wallet, or other items.When selecting the best walking canes, we spoke with physical therapists and spent hours researching the best and most effective products.
