Do you ever have problems with your cane falling over once you have rested it against the wall or armchair? While canes help us get around, sometimes we just need them to stay put. Bending over and reaching to get a cane sort of defeats the purpose. Let’s compare some of our cane holders that let the cane come to you instead of you to the cane.
When you want to have a way of setting your cane somewhere while you’re not using it, there are at least two ways to go about it, and that’s what we’ll look at now. You can add prongs to the end of your cane, or you can attach an appendage to the middle of your cane, which will allow you to rest it against a wall or hook it on a table top. Also, there’s nothing that stops you from doing both of these strategies at the same time!
The pronged approach
“The pronged approach” has the advantage of letting you set your cane anywhere with a flat surface, and it will stand on its own. The High Performance Cane Tip by ErgoActives is an advanced, all-purpose, durable rubber cane/crutch tip engineered to mimic the joint articulation of the foot/ankle by utilizing its unique four winged patented design for maximum stability, safety, and comfort.
The attachment approach
Another strategy, as mentioned, is to attach a hook or appendage in the middle or near the top of your cane. The Cane Stay Walking Cane Holder fits almost any size cane and is easily attached. Just grab the wings and squeeze like pliers to attach to the cane.
The INGRID Cane Holder is another product that follows the “attachment approach.” This sleek cane holder was designed following consultation of Swedish experts in design and steel manufacturing and is made of high-quality thermoplastic rubber. It features a stainless steel spring and an easy-to-use snap-on fitting. With this efficient and elegant cane holder, you’ll be carrying your cane with class and without having to fumble around for it.
If you’re frustrated because your cane keeps falling over, try these solutions and you’ll never have to raise cane again!
