July 3, 2014 - Portland, Oregon -- The Handy Cane, provided by Gravity Mobility Aids, gives U.S. senior citizens the stability needed to move about in an independent lifestyle and avoid moving into a nursing home. Created with an ergonomic handle, an anti-skid elastic foot, and a strong adjustable metal staff, this free-standing walking tool gives its owner the security and confidence to stay mobile and at home. Utilizing innovative design ideas, the Gravity Handy Cane can offer independence at home for seniors wishing to avoid assisted care.
Grasping the handle on this modern walking stick means the user's open hand rests in the distinctively-shaped hand grip. This allows weight to disperse more evenly over the entire palm. In other words, it's easy to hold. Adjust-ability of the main body of this cane gives the user complete control of its height. Furthermore, it can collapse to an inconspicuous 25-inch height when needed. Perfect for social occasions.
The elastic foot of The Handy Cane is a round rubber base, featuring gripping treads, along with four prongs of rubber that make the first contact with the floor. This allows the user a shock absorbing first contact on landing. The base also gives this walking cane a free-standing capability, thus allowing the use of both hands while the walking cane stands upright when not in the user's hand. A convenient feature for those living alone. A fallen walking cane with no assistance to retrieve it, can be a serious issue for the frail or injured.
In a Chicago Tribune Health Chat, David Fisher, M.D., a geriatric and palliative care specialist and author of How to Keep Mom (and Yourself) Out of a Nursing Home, said, "The primary reason people are unable to live at home is a loss of independence." He added that lacking the ability to get up and walk about in daily activities greatly increases the chance of an elderly person moving to a nursing home. Activity aids in giving a senior citizen the reserve to stay home. This walking cane assists in giving its user a more active lifestyle.
