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 recently joined the “cane club.” I fractured my patella and after 5 weeks in an immobilizer, I was set free but needed a cane. This cane is perfect. I stand straight. It helps with balance and it looks sharp. That said, I find it does not stand alone for any length of time. I will have to buy a different bottom.

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.

When folded, it’s still fairly long. Otherwise it works very well.Comfortable grip and offers great support for uneven ground.

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.

This cane is really great for your posture I started not buy it but I'm so glad that I did. It really does make a difference it actually helps you look up and not down. Therefore you focus looking ahead not down. I wish I had gotten much earlier . I love 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.

Love this cane!It’s easy to use to keep your back from hurting because it’s just the right level depending on where you put your hand on the handheld part of the cane. It stands by itself. It’s helpful for reaching for things also.
