Able Tripod Cane
The ergonomically
designed base weighs 8˝ ounces and stands up on its own, providing
maximum stability and function to the cane. Composed of a
durable, specially weighted rubber compound, great care was
taken to control the right amount of flexibility, giving the
base its remarkable performance. Stairs are now easily managed.
Quad canes need to be turned sideways on stairs, making the
user uncomfortable and in some cases fearful. The AbleTripodCane™
gives the user confidence to negotiate even the narrowest
steps. The stress of impact on the user's hand is greatly
reduced by the AbleTripodCane™'s base, which flexes as you
walk. The stability of the AbleTripodCane™'s base is not compromised
whether on sand, grass, or earth, whereas typical canes may
sink into the ground. The AbleTripodCane™ can be used in ways
that no other cane can: its unique design enables the user
to lean into the cane, experiencing both support and balance.
The ability to lateralize gives the user a unique feeling
of confidence that quad canes are not capable of providing.
The aesthetically pleasing design enables both left and right-handed
people to use the same cane without adjustment. The AbleTripodCane™
is currently being used at several University Hospitals and
Rehabilitation Centers.
