(Medical-NewsWire.com, August 12, 2014 ) Portland, Oregon -- Design features of the Handy Cane, offered by Gravity Mobility Aids, assist seniors and elderly with minor mobility issues in a manner which can ease the minds of relatives who are involved with seniors living at home. According to Brigham Young University's (BYU) School of Family Life, family members in the U.S. handle 80 percent of the care for their elderly parents. Effective mobility of a senior within the home can be enhanced by the Handy Cane.
Several factors in the Handy Cane's design assist with movement around the house. The base is a solid round rubber ferrule with circular rubber indents. This provides a stable landing thus reducing the risk of slipping on surfaces. The base also has four shock absorbing style elastic prongs that make initial contact with the floor just before the ferrule makes contact. Best of all this base design is what provides the Handy Cane's most unique feature – it is self-standing. Meaning the user can completely step away from the walking cane and it will remain upright.
The ergonomic handle of the Handy Cane means the user no longer has to strain their wrist and hand muscles trying to grip onto a traditional hook cane handle. Rather their palm can "rest" into the handle of the Handy Cane. Its design provides the user with an open palm hold, spreading weight evenly across the hand. This type of palm position can be helpful and more comfortable for arthritis or stroke sufferers.
The more user friendly a mobility aid is, the more a user will "befriend" it. When all of the features of this mobility aid are taken together as a whole, not only can the Handy Cane assist an elderly person with safe mobility around their home, but it can play a small part in giving peace-of-mind to adult children who are responsible for providing care.
Says veteran care provider Vanessa Parker, "Maintaining mobility and independence, for elderly ones, is important to their physical, mental and emotional well being. For families, this means less worry and stress about their ageing parents."
