2022 08 15 Mon Review Amazon Rock Steady CaneINDISPENSIBLE—For EveryoneEvery home should own one or better, at least two, of these Rock Steady Canes (RSC). 61% of the several hundred reviews are 5-Star. I have spoken to the inventor/owner several times personally. HE ANSWERS THE PHONE as well as his friendly, knowledgeable staff of people working with him. My experience for this 5-star review has been over 6 months of actual use of the RSC in my own home. I have hit my 7th decade in life along with 2 knees and 2 hips needing replacement. I have gone from all sorts of “single pole” canes that fall over & do not begin to offer the stability & maneuverability of the RSC. The RSC itself is somewhat like a separated “walker”. The RSC fits in “tighter spaces” because it is separated into something similar to the single straight sides of a walker. Got a doorway that is” too narrow” for a walker? Got a non-linear angle of rising up & then stepping to a new area? Use a “RSC” that is made of aluminum. This petite 4” 11” woman can pick up & ROTATE (at any angle up to 360 degrees) with one wrist the direction in which I want to proceed. The combination of the “crossbar” below the top handle of the RSC means I can safely bend over & pick up something from the floor with zero fear of falling. Even if my own malady was a sprained ankle (something that can happen to a much younger person), the RSC would ensure safety from falling or tripping in one’s home. (Have never come close to tripping or falling with the RSC.) The footprint of the double “feet” of the RSC allows for it to be placed on the stair steps out & inside my home. I can “push” myself up or gently “allow myself down” with a much greater stability than a single pole cane permits. It is critical to our entire body that “we ambulate” and move to keep our entire body system “working”. It is unhealthy to sit/stay in bed for extended periods. Granted, with my current situation, I am not moving as quickly or as much as I know I will be after joint replacements. However, I AM moving, taking care of most of my needs by myself, & keeping my body as healthy as possible leading up to surgery. I am certain the RSC will assist me greatly in my recovery process. I have purchased 28 for this safety, health promoting, endeavor. In all ways, this investment is much better than possible institutionalized alternatives.

Good product. Does not really work for someone who needs to rely on it heavily for support. Purchased to help someone who cannot take a step without her walker. Walker to bulky for bathroom so got this for her to lean on as she got out of tub, she felt unstable. Perfect for someone who just needs to steady themselves but not good to lean on heavily.

Amazed at how flat and well they immediately lay flat and stay in place. Bought variety of 6 for living room and kitchen combo and went back for this seventh. I'm handicapped so my house keeper helped me lay them out. So beautiful in black and lays down and stays down and in place so well that she now wants to order the same for her home. How anyone could give these less than a 5 would be a mystery.. __Paul in Maine

Check the dimensions carefully, it's more narrow than it appears. While it has an adjustable height, the base is not stable because the two-pronged legs have a long side and a short side so the cane by default tries to tip towards the short side.It's stable when upright but if you push against it and have the short side out, it tips easily. You'd have to be mindful to always use it with the long side facing out but both sides look nearly the same so I think it would be trivial to use it 'wrong-way-out' by accident.It has a cross beam but still feels very wobbly and loose. If you bear downwards there's a lot of play in either direction because the adjustable feet don't fit very firmly.It's hard to imagine how a device like this would be useful for people that have knee weakness and would really need to put their weight on it. I thought this product was going to be the best of both a walker and a cane but it really isn't. The lack of stability just ruins the whole purpose and the wobbliness makes it feel cheap and unsafe.I was going to give this to my grandpa but I don't think it's safe at all to use. I'm currently using it to throw some quilts over the handle to keep them up off the ground and good for that I guess.I can't recommend this at all for a loved one -- if they need something more than a cane, just go for a walker. It's hugely overpriced for how little it delivers.

Ordered for the hubby after his back surgery. He asked that I return it. This primary reason was he could not pull himself up from a seated position.

This was supposed to be for an elder, but after trying it several times, it just doesn’t have a sturdy base to keep from toppling. It’s not a fit for my intended purpose (assistance over the door threshold).
