Folding walking stick with cork handle

The folding walking stick is designed for people who need light support while walking. It may be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the user’s mobility and balance.

Thanks to its folding design, the walking stick takes up less space. Therefore, it is easier to store in a bag, cupboard or vehicle.

The ergonomic cork handle provides a comfortable grip. The breathable material also helps reduce discomfort during longer periods of use.

The lightweight frame makes the walking stick easier to handle. In addition, the adjustable height allows it to be adapted to the user.

The flexible tip follows changes in direction. As a result, it helps maintain better contact with the ground. Its shock-absorbing design may also improve comfort while walking.

A wrist strap keeps the walking stick close to the hand. However, it does not replace a secure grip on the handle.

At OrthoGreen Mobility, a medical equipment store in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we help you choose and adjust a folding walking stick suited to your height and balance.

The correct folding walking stick depends on the user’s height, balance and preferred hand. The type of journey should also be considered.

When the user stands upright, the handle should usually reach the wrist crease. This allows the elbow to remain slightly bent while walking.

A walking stick that is too high or too low may affect posture. It may also reduce the quality of support.

Our team can check the height, grip and stability of the walking stick. We can also assess whether a more stable walking aid would be more appropriate.
