Hip, Knee, Surgery Recovery Aid – Helps You Recover Faster from Surgeries and Injuries. Fully Adjustable Walking Cane Keeps You Moving, Increasing Circulation and Flexibility

I am 6'4" tall and if it is stable for me, it will be stable for you for sure. Also, most of these walker-type devices are so heavy. Getting them out of the car for many would be a challenge but this cane/walker is so lightweight and easy to get in and out of the car. If you feel like you need a little more support than a cane but want to avoid the bulkiness of a walker, this is for you. I had 2 fractures and torn MCL, ACL and meniscus bilaterally and I am tall so it really has been a challenge for me. I have bought wheelchairs, 2 different walkers, 3 canes,etc. and then I found this. This is BY FAR the best device for stability (with adjustable heights), it is the lightest and easy to get in and out of the trunk. I have felt very safe and stable since using it. Now I feel more confident to go more places with my new cane/walker. I am walking more normal and very steady now, thanks to this. It is life-changing for sure. It is the best and you will be thrilled with your purchase.

Much more stability without much extra weight over a single foot cane

I bought this cane after double knee replacement surgery. I never used it as a cane, so I am unable to give any pointers or experiences on that. I purchased it as a stability "bar" for getting in and out of our small stall shower. This fit in well between the toilet and shower stall wall. It can wobble, but still gave me a feeling of security stepping in and out of our shower. The way I was able to wedge it in (outside the shower), provided just enough stability to not fear slipping. I felt confident and comfortable using this instead of trying to figure out where we could install a convenient to use grab bar. I have been happy with our purchase, but it might not be right for everyone or every situation. The height is easily adjustable.

2022 08 15 Mon Review Amazon Rock Steady Cane INDISPENSIBLE—For Everyone Every 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.

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.
