If you suffer from Arthritis, the Palm Grip handle is a good choice. This type of handle places the majority of pressure on the "palm" rather than fingers.   Also, the Anatomically Correct handle is also a good choice for it is specifically made for the "right" or the "left" hand.

• The Fritz handle was designed by a 16th Century German for people suffering from Arthritis.  It is a smaller diameter handle than the Derby.

• The Folding canes were truly an innovative idea for the walking cane industry. We now have folding canes that fold to a mere 8-1/2" called the Mini-Folding.

• The Offset cane handles are also a great comfort for Arthritis users.  They come in a Foam or a soft cushion latex free grip.

• The Crook or commonly known as the Tourist handle, is what we call an "up-side down J".  This is a popular handle for everyone as you have a firm handle surface as well as being able to "crook" it over your arm when you need to use both hands.
