The Original Campbell Posture Cane Foldable Walking Cane for Men and Women - FSA/HSA Eligible - Editorial Recommended - As Seen on TV

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 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.

Pretty sturdy. like that it keeps your posture upright & not slumped. It will not stand alone, but its still good. I would recommend this.

It’s ok and I’m working on using it soon

I rave about this cane to every one! I have lower back pain and tend to stoop over when I walk or stand. Unlike other canes I have bought this one keeps me standing upright and not bent over. I can walk so much further. I love love love this cane. I even take it into my gardens when I work.

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.

I can walk so much easier with this cane. It stops you from feeling like you are going to fall, because you are standing up straight. Even my doctor said that she was going to buy one for her mother.

After purchasing the first one, we wound up ordering two more of these for my wife because they are so convenient. It is sturdy and adjustable. Because it is foldable and doesn't take up much room we keep one at home and one in each vehicle. My wife likes the handle shape much better than a standard cane. The foot is large and flat enough that it will stand on its own freeing her to use both hands when needed.
