StrongArm Comfort Cane + Self Standing Lightweight Adjustable Walking Cane for Men & Women + Ergonomic Forearm Grip Stabilizes Wrist & Provides Extra Support & Stability (Self Standing Base)

Great to take weight off wrist, and is strong.Attractive purple cane—classy looking.If you are not yet in some way already strong in two feet, possibly wait till you are as this is not as seriously sturdy as would be the old fashioned silver Quad cane that the PT has at therapy—that is very safe.This little 6-point rubber bottom is very nice to have cane stand up by itself without having to hang into it while maybe at the post office checkout line when you are signing the purchase. However, do not think it is the same as a super solid metal 4-point quad cane.I say this is like a step beyond the quad cane ( as in your ought to be a little advanced and be more in between needing a quad cane and but yet ready for a one pointed cane tip).This is very handy as it is, as long as you are beyond the absolute need for a quad cane. The bottom only takes up a few inches if surface area whereas the traditional quad cane has a huge rectangular surface it covers (of many inches).Meaning, you have to be reasonably sure your two feet can bear enough weight that they will hold you up if you cannot find the best ground space for the cane.I hope I am making it clear this is an excellent cane for someone who can bear weight enough on both legs to stand without the cane, and just need it for movement stabilizing. If not yet ready for this, stay longer in the walker or quad cane si you can appreciate this intermediate option between quad cane and one pointed cane. I bought the one pointed tip fir when I improve my stability. Meanwhile I love this unusual shaped tip as it gives me a lot of options. In fact, I might keep using this when I am ready for one posted tip BECAUSE it literally stands upright all by itself! It has a curve to hookOn the arm or leanIn something else, but 9x out of 10, I just set it beside me as it stands by itself! Very convenient.AND IS LIGHT WEIGHT but strong enough to feel it’s sturdy support.One must use it in proper positionAnd you will train yourself quickly.MIT is adjustable and instructions say if you need higher support the setting can me a little taller for bearing more weight in arm.I am of good size and it holds me we up! It also can be used to stand up with something to hang into if there are no good armchair arms around. Like getting up in a waiting room when a Nursing Asst calls you.FYI: the cane Arrives in very gigantic box within a box and I had delivery person help me remove item from bix and take boxes away as there is 19x more package than product which apparently is to keep the cane perfect with zero risk of dents)!

I am very glad I ordered this heavy duty cane that holds big weight. The arm guide is very stable and gives more support. The bottom rubber piece is large and stands up well. It has multiple height adjustments. It feels the best choice for a hip replacement surgery.

I encountered a very big injury in January 2005, due to that I needed to have a left tibia plateau surgery. I had been wheelchair bound for 5 1/2 months. My next step after the wheelchair, was using a walker. I was searching on Amazon and I found the strong arm hybrid crutches/can. I have read a lot of reviews and all of them were pretty positive so I thought I would give it a shot. I purchased two of them since I’m still having trouble putting full weight on that left leg. I find that they’re extremely easy to use.Here is my downside to it, it makes me more independent in one aspect, but trying to live every day life, example being trying to cook is a little more difficult. I can’t carry anything when I’m using both at the same time. I’m trying to figure out a solution. I read that the bottom rubber piece. Is easy to work with and also comfortable. I feel steady on my feet, but I could see how an older person who wasn’t paying attention could trip because they’re wide. I have good strength in my arms so I don’t find that the strong arm is too heavy. I also bought the smaller rubber piece in the event. I didn’t like the wider ones. This is just my first day using them, so I can say so far so good. I could see where an older person would need to pay attention and make sure that they watched how far apart they had the poles while walking.This purchase was on the more expensive side, but I’m happy with my purchase. I would totally recommend them over crutches any day of the week. I like the way all the pressure when walking is just not on the palms of my hand. I hope they work just as well for you.

I've had this cane a couple of weeks and love it so far. It is much more stable than other canes I have used and allows me to be on my feet longer. However, I can't recommend the self standing tip that comes on it. The cane is so long that the self standinp tip doesn't work well and tends to fall, at least mine did. I ordered the smaller tip for mine and the cane feels good now. The self standing it is very heavy too due to its size, so I recommend the smaller tip. If mine had come with the smaller tip it would be 5 stars for sure. I recommend.

Pros: Excellent hybrid for walking stick/crutches. Foam padding on handles placed to relieve any pressure. Ergonomic design to relieve pressure on upper body, hands, wrists, and arm joints. Very large surface area on tip of cane in contact with floor, thus allowing increased balance and sense of security. No need to stoop if adjustable pole placed in correct position. Canes will stay upright on a level surface when not in use, otherwise, add “foam twist bendable rubber ties “ to each cane (buy on Amazon) and create a hook to attach to an object.Cons: Person using device must have proprioception skills, therefore, not suitable for confused, dementia patients. Why? Those large rubber tips in contact with surface area could pose a trip hazard. Keep this in mind when purchasing. If you have proprioception skills there is a slight learning curve which can be mastered in a day if you have used a conventional cane. One of my canes has developed a squeak, squeak, when in use. I found a company site with questions and answers. My squeak problem was resolved with silicone spray. The Company does not refurbish canes, however, they do sell extra tips but no black foam for handles. Replacing the tips may require a handyman as the originals are very secure. Overall, highly recommend with above caveats.
