FLEX-STICK walking cane
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:02 pm
I came across this website http://www.ranjam.net/ because of its come-on line: Designed by Boomers for Boomers! The most unique walking cane ever made!
The RANjAM SOLUTION: Designed by a physical therapist, the 'FLEX-STICK' uses physics and basic geometry to enhance the stability throughout the normal gait cycle - three (3) points 'define a plane' which is why a three legged stool always feels more stable than a four legged stool.
COMFORT & STABILITY: The ‘FLEX-STICK’ uses three spring loaded legs that act as shock absorbers, allowing it to maintain constant contact with the ground surface as the angle of the cane tilts while the user moves through a normal gait cycle. Each leg has over an inch of travel, allowing it to adjust to uneven ground such as gravel, brick cobble stone, etc. Our articulating cane design provides DYNAMIC STABILITY - something no other cane has!
Anyone have any opinions about it?
