HurryCane 2 Comfort Walking Sticks Designed for Stability - New Product Alert

Meet the HurryCane 2 Comfort Walking Stick, available in a choice for four colours. This walking stick is highly recognised for its ease of use and functionality. Manufactured by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, the smart walking stick has been engineered with the human body as inspiration. 

The pivoting base has been engineered to provide optimum stability to users, including on uneven ground and inclines. The base acts like a human foot to assist with balance. The tips can be replaced when needed to prevent you having to purchase a full new stick when worn.  

Produced from aluminium, the walking stick is lightweight at under 0.5kg yet it supports a 159kg capacity (25 stone). 

The HurryCane is adjustable to 8 different heights between 77cm - 95cm to allow you to set the stick to a comfortable height for you. Simply set to your preferred height, twist to secure at the required height for additional security. 

To find the right height for your walking stick, measure from the ground to your wrist joint. If you plan to use the walking stick outside, we recommend measuring the height when you are wearing your shoes.

Built with comfort in mind, the walking stick has a comfort grip handle and wrist strap for additional security. 

Built with the user in mind, the stick is freestanding when it is not in use to prevent you having to bend over to reach for your stick when it has fallen on the floor. The stick is freestanding in both its stored position and when set to its full height. This is also beneficial for those who wish to ensure the walking cane is in easy reach after sitting down, whether at a restaurant or infront of the TV. 

Perfect for men and women, the sticks are available in a choice of four colours: pastel blue, pastel Green, pastel pink and black to allow you to choose a design which matches your style. 

Designed to stand alone, either when at full height or stored, meaning you never have to bend down to reach for your walking stick again.

For those struggling to overcome higher steps and doorways, you may also wish to view our range of large half steps which can be used with walking sticks. For further support, we also have a range of rollators. 

You first need to ensure the stick is set to the correct height. Measure the vertical height from the ground to your wrist joint. Walking sticks and canes should be set to this height to allow for a slight elbow bend when using the stick. Where you plan to use the stick outside, we suggest measuring with shoes on to check the required height. When using a walking stick you should be able to maintain an upright posture. If you are unsure on the best height for you, we recommend speaking to a doctor, Occupational Therapist or physiotherapist for advice. The NHS also have a useful guide on the best way to hold a walking stick. 

You should hold the walking stick in the hand opposite to the sore or injured leg. You should move the walking stick forward first, then your injured or painful leg followed by your other leg. 

This does depend on personal conditions and preferences. In many instances, individuals own walking sticks and rollators which is why many rollators are offered with walking stick holders. Walking sticks are generally beneficial for those who require support one side. They take up less space than rollators making them much easier to transport in the car or use when passing through narrow doorways. 

Walking frames and rollators offer additional support and stability to users. Rollators also often come with added features such as seats and shopping bags which can be especially beneficial for those who wish to use the walking aid out and about. The seat allows users to sit down when needed and the bag can often help enhance independence by allowing users to easily carry their shopping home.
