Campbell Posture Cane for Men & Women - Walking Canes for Seniors, Folding Cane, Walking Stick Made w/Heavy-Duty Aluminum, Ergonomic Campbell Handle, Rubber Traction Tip, Elderly Assistance Products

I am recovering from an injury that caused a herniated L4 and spinal stenosis about a year ago. I just took this on a plane to Las Vegas and used it (along with a back brace) to navigate the strip. I had no issues with TSA. It breaks down easily and fits under plane seats. I did add some self-adhesive sports wrap to the handle for grip. I am in my 30s and at 6'2 tall, I didn't want a traditional cane... this works well and keeps you in the proper posture. The handle will start to spin itself loose after a couple days of use. Just retighten by hand, no biggy.

This is a really nice walking stick. It keeps me upright and is very adaptable to different positions. I use it all the time and it seems to be very durable.

Pros: Tall height, helps with posture and balance, and the foot transfers very little energy from ground into arm -- good shock absorptionCons: The grip is a little painful to use, which forces me to grip it less tight, which means I can put less weight onto it than I would prefer.--This was my first cane and it's been very helpful for lessening the pain I experience from lots of walking on hard concrete or asphalt walking paths. It's relieved a lot of the pressure on my right knee, hips, and spine.The main downside is that the handle is incredibly uncomfortable, stiff, and results in some pretty quick hand cramping compared to other styles of canes. I frequently have to readjust my hand into a more comfortable position, but something about the way the handle is shaped results in very fast cramping.A nice thing about the handle though is that is upright shape results in less energy being transferred from the ground into your wrist. So, while this one may cramp my hand a bit, it tends to hurt my wrist a lot less than other canes I've used.The pivoting foot is helpful for shock absorption, which I like, and the upright handle, while uncomfy, makes for a good form factor for longer distance walking or hiking.Of the canes I have, I will likely reserve this one for exercising

I Bought this out of desperation but wanted to use it a while before writing a Review. To give you some Background ,Iv'e been taking care of my Disabled Sister for over 11 Years and she finally passed in January on Hospice at the local VA Home .All that lifting from falls really did my Back in. She was 190lbs of dead weight .Even my Chiropractor won't touch me .So I realized if I was ever going to leave this house I was going to have to get a Cane.I was falling a lot because of the pain and no balance.I even fell bringing in the one garbage can because that was the only thing holding me up.So on to the cane. I read the reviews and one complaint was it wobbled after putting it together .This one did to. So I looked at it and realized there were threads still exposed even though it seemed tight.I put the 6 toed base between my feet and started tightning the shafts.There was plenty of room to tighten this thing.Finally everything came together after I turned it as far as it could go and it was solid and tight and even stood up on it's own. So after using it for a day my Back was killing me.I had muscles where I didn't know I had muscles. It's better now.I guess that's called Muscle memory.I still need it for stability,hopefully that will come back but I'm so glad I got this.I still haven't walked farther than 50 feet but that will come.It took me 11 years to get like this I will just have to be patient.Hope this Helps someone out there.Sorry for being so long winded.Best of Luck,it's not an easy road.PEACE

Really love this cane. Being in a stooped over position with a regular cane just caused more issues. Being able to stand straight in the correct position takes pressure off lower back. (Currently suffering from a pinched nerve in lower back.) It's lightweight, but not flimsy. Handle is very comfortable. I definitely recommend it.

I have always had balance issues but wouldn't use a cane for a long time, and when I did start using a cane, I never really felt stable. Never really felt comfortable pushing down on the handle either and was always hunched over when using it. One day my brother gave me a walking stick, which was much better for me as I pull down a little bit on the stick as opposed to pushing on the handle of a cane. My back pain lessened quite a bit as I was standing straighter. The stick is long, and I'm always afraid I'll forget it somewhere, and I still don't feel quite stable with the little tip at the end.Saw the Campbell posture cane and was intrigued because you could just reach out and hold it like a stick, and the part where you hold it is curved, I can pull down on it a little which is more comfortable for me than pushing down; I stand much straighter using it. It has a strap, and I also like the large flat foot as it does make me feel more stable. Don't know what the diameter of the cane shaft is, but I put a thing (don't know what it's called) around it that will hold a small flashlight.Now for what I don't likeThe cane does not stand up on my carpet. This is a minor gripe. It stands on bare floor fine, and there is a strap.I paid $48 plus some cents (on Amazon) for this cane. That's a lot of money. After I ordered it I saw it in a catalog for $39+S&H. That's a lot of money too. Before my cane got here, I asked the seller if the tip could be replaced (cane tips wear out, you know), and they said they believed so. When my cane arrived, I tried to take it off but couldn't budge it. Didn't think too much about it as my hands are not strong, but I see now that others have tried to remove the tip, and it cannot be removed (see the questions)...SO when the tip wears out, you have to buy a new cane. That shouldn't be, and that's a big deal for me. For that reason, I won't recommend this particular cane to anyone. Hopefully more canes of this type will come on the market and they will have a replaceable tip. I get a lot of catalogues, and within the last week I saw the Campbell posture cane advertised in 2 of them for $29.95 +S&H. Bought a couple of other things I needed and paid only a $2.95 handling fee. Bought the cane as a back up for when the "tip" on the first tip wears out...because the cane is great, except for the irreplaceable tip.
