Walking Sticks and Canes Collapsible for Men and Women. Complete balance on uneven surfaces.
(Medical-NewsWire.com, February 18, 2014 ) Portland, Oregon -- Independence is crucial for seniors at a vulnerable age, but mobility devices like the Handy Walking Cane encourage independent lifestyles.
The Gravity Mobility Aids' Handy Cane are walking sticks for men and walking sticks for women also. An ergonomic product designed for seniors who want complete independence and who have the ambition to do more with their golden years. This release coincides with findings by the Economic and Social Research Council, suggesting that among seniors, "Wellbeing is driven by psychological and social factors such as independence and social interaction." Independence is not a quirk but a need, and a whole generation of grateful children are trying hard to let their parents age gracefully with more options of independence.
The Handy Cane is an ambitious achievement, ideal for an ambitious man or woman who wants to walk freely despite some limitations. The walking stick features a large base that has two-stage flexible floor contact. The elastic material and circular shapes of the base allow for flexible landing, while the double slip-proof and anti-skid design minimizes accidental tripping that is common with regular canes. The cane is built as sturdy as a walker, but with the style and grace of a walking stick. The most groundbreaking feature is that of the free-standing operation. Despite being a lightweight piece, the product has a firm center, and is much easier to use than a quad cane or a tripod cane. The elderly population may find moments in their day where they are unsure of where to put their canes. Walking canes that are leaned against a wall will, more often than not, fall over. Those who have no mobility issues will be blissfully unaware of the epic task the elderly face when trying to retrieve an item from the floor. They can often end up sprawled on the floor themselves. This new design now eliminates that danger. Since the cane stands by itself, this is a major advantage over the competition.
The American Journal of Occupational Therapy reported in 1998 that 50 percent of adults over the age of 65, and 40 percent of adults over the age of 80, fall and hurt themselves at least once a year. Because of other ailments related to aging or disease, these falls are very injurious and can lead not only to pain and physical conditions, but to the loss of independence. As research from the ESRC indicated, to take away a senior's independence is to affect his or her wellbeing and longevity. Even the fear of falling and suffering an injury could be enough to scare a senior into avoiding daily living activities.
One of the most proactive measures is to invest in a new age walking cane with features that protect individuals from losing their balance. Gravity Mobility Aids is so confident that seniors will enjoy the product, they are currently offering it for a discounted price of 50% off the retail price. The coupon code is currently active but supplies are running out.
