Campbell Posture Cane | Walking Cane for Men, Women | Mobility Device, Portable, Lightweight, Adjustable, Self-Standing, Folding, Collapsible Hand Walking Stick, 10 Height Adjustment, 360 Traction Tip

I recently had a spinal fusion surgery after being diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis. My L5 Vertebrae broke away from the spine, dropped and slipped forward, pressing against the nerve. It was an injury that bothered me for years but only became much worse in my 40’s and 50’s. A regular height cane puts too much pressure on my back because of needing to lean forward to get any support on that type of cane. They are just too low. Spondylolisthesis creates a horrific fracture-like feeling with every movement, which left me unable to even scoot forward on the cushion of a couch, forget being able to actually walk around the house. Luckily, while spending 5 weeks awaiting surgery I found this cane, and purchased it based on a wonderful review from another user who also had spinal fusion surgery. This cane has been a life saver. Before the surgery it allowed me to actually move around the house carefully while feeling I was not at risk of falling. I am still using the cane after surgery, which was only a week ago, just because the added support makes me feel safer and more stable. The cane can mostly stand on its own next to you, but that depends more on how flat your flooring truly is. I find the cane is also a great help at raising and lowering a toilet seat, or pulling clothes up, gently moving blankets, etc., all things I cannot do on my own because I am not allowed to twist, turn, or bend for another 10 weeks while the spinal fusion bonds. The upright position of the cane allows me to look straight ahead and not down at the floor, which instantly alieves pain. I have no complaints on this cane. I would just give two tips to potential buyers: the handle area can feel slippery once you wash your hands, so be sure to completely dry your hands after washing. The gold stripe near the bottom of the handle does tend to slightly unscrew through normal use, so just make sure you tighten it everyday to be safe, which you only need to twist it with your hands, No tools are needed. I haven’t had a need yet to fold it so I can’t say how small it folds up for storage. I cannot recommend this product more highly, It has been a huge help and I cannot imagine where I would be if I had only a smaller, traditional style cane. Thank you so much to the manufacturer of this cane. I picture I will continue to use this cane in the future as a walking stick, giving me more stability for walks around the block. It’s well made. I have even used it to help steady myself getting in and out of the shower. This is truly one of the best items I have ever purchased on Amazon. I am so grateful this cane exists.

I highly recommend this cane. Its very stable with the feet and tall enough for my needs. Not having to stoop over to hold onto.

Pros: Tall height, helps with posture and balance, and the foot transfers very little energy from ground into arm -- good shock absorption Cons: 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

This is a fabulous cane! I’ve had it for 3 years and it’s just now starting to fall apart (the foot is cracking from storing it in the car in cold Michigan Winters) and the elastic band inside the cane is starting to stretch. I’ve used this cane for light hiking and traveling around California — I can’t recommend it enough. It’s extremely easy to get up off the floor with the design of the handle and the design of the feet and it simply allows me to be a bit more independent. I like that it folds because it means I can keep it with me on planes (it tucks under the seat).

I bought the Campbell Posture Cane two months ago from Amazon. I use a cane from necessity and have a collection, for years switching for variety; I now use the Campbell Cane exclusively. I’m 76 and walk a mile each way to and from North Station through downtown Boston traffic, where jaywalking is an artform. The simple, unique design of the cane’s handle makes it a most comfortable, safe cane. Rather than holding it on top, my arm goes straight – a little more than 90 degrees down from the elbow - to comfortably grip the cane, allowing it not only to support me, but to give a little boost on the rear push-off, adding a some speed to my jaywalking. The ability to fold the Campbell Cane is useful when travelling and stowing it away. It stands alone easily, even for a while on a moving train. The tip looks like fat-petalled, black flower; it’s made of semi-rigid rubber or rubber-like substance, which is useful for moving things such as public toilet seats. It also gives me confidence of no slippage from placement to push away. When purchased, it arrived assembled except for 30 seconds it took to screw on the handle. It is strongly constructed, entirely useful, and a great assist for my mobility problem. It does allow me to stand taller, giving me a fraction back to my age-taken height. There are easily moved adjustments, so it will fit most anyone, I assume. I give five stars for this reasonably-priced piece of perfection. Bill Dalton

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 like The 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.

I've been an above-knee amputee for close to 3 years now, and have been using a cane with my prosthesis for over 2 years. I started with a standard cane, then moved to the HurryCane which I loved. Until I tried the Campbell cane. A family member asked if I'd ever tried a "stand up cane". At that point, I'd looked at them, but hadn't switched. I ordered one, tried it, LOVED it, and ordered a 2nd one. Advantages: 1: Better posture - I stand up so much straighter with the Campbell cane. Several people have commented on how much more upright I am. With the HurryCane I always felt (and looked!) like I was leaning to the side, and I was. 2: Stronger muscles - I have to work harder with the Campbell cane, but my hip muscles (which above-knee amputees use to walk) are getting stronger. 3: Better balance - Because I'm not putting so much weight on my cane, and more on my prosthesis, my balance is improving. 4: It stands on its own so much better than the HurryCane. I was forever stepping on my HurryCane to get it standing again. The Campbell cane works the same way - step on one of the flares at the bottom and it pops back up, but because it has 6 flares on the foot, it stand up a lot better than the HurryCane. 5: Stability - those 6 flares give me a greater sense of security with this cane over others. Disadvantage: 1: The handle unscrews, and the bottom two pieces fold - so it doesn't fold up quite as easily as the HurryCane did. Not a big deal for me. Since it stands so well, I haven't had a need to fold it yet. 2: The foot isn't replaceable as far as I can tell. When the foot wears out, I'll have to replace the whole cane. However, I think that's a minor drawback compared to the advantages. Having used the HurryCane for 2 years, and the Campbell for about 3 weeks, I'm super impressed with the Campbell and highly recommend it. If my thoughts change in the coming months, I will update my review.

This thing really does help you stand up and walk upright. It worked so well I got one for the wife and she used it must of the time outside. It is like a walking stick with a curved handle at the top of it. Works really well, so well That folks aways ask me about it when were out and about doing things or going to eat at a resturant. I made my handle bigger by wrapping it with paracord wrap to make it bigger around. I also put some paracord around the bottom part just as a talk piece and it is. So yes I would say it is worth it for being able to walk upright.

Sturdy

Excellent product.

I fractured multiple vertebrae and was advised to use a walking stick. I've been using an ordinary walking stick but I was worried it would make me less upright. It's an expensive stick and takes a while to adjust to a slightly different way of using a walking aid, but I am hoping it will be okay. I really like that it's easy to fold a stands on its own

There is no grip but the cane still helps with a lot with my posture

Got this for my mum who can’t walk well at moment she found it helped her move around safely
