Walking Canes: Seniors Mobility Companion

walking canes are the first and most basic walking aid that an elderly can use to lean on. Today's walking canes are available in many styles, colors and handle designs. Even, some walking canes follow the fashion trend, with trendy colors and designs. A walking cane became in some way a fashion accessory, for stylish seniors. The most important features about a walking cane for seniors are:

• Handle design: many mobility canes handle designs are available today; Offset handle, Anatomical handle, round handle, consort handle or Orto handle.
• Walking canes base type: we find 3 principal types of walking cane for seniors bases; standard base, small quad base or large quad base. The last two are also called quad canes. In winter, seniors can add what we call Ice Tips, for a better adhesion on ice.
• All walking canes are height adjustable.
• Some available mobility canes models are folding canes or travel canes.
• Price difference between walking canes is justified by: materials used in cane construction, handle quality, cane design and base type.
