Design new "sta-op" cane

This cane was developed specifically for seniors with a mobility problem who experience difficulty standing up. Thanks to the double handle, the user can push off on his walking stick, thus helping him maintain his balance and support muscle strength during standing up and also supporting mobility by allowing him to walk after standing up to be used.

Why is this a innovative tool? First of all, by the double handle ensure that the user is supported during standing.wide cap at the bottom provides a wider support area, both during standing and walking. Also the way to adjust the height is not standard as it uses a tube clamp, this ensures that the height is much faster and more intuitive than the standard spheres with a pin. Finally, it was also used carbon fibre This makes the material much less heavy, much firmer (which also allows it to absorb the power of someone pushing on the cane without difficulty), but also looks better than the standard aluminium walking sticks.



I would like to thank David Lebbe and Nicolas Vandermarliere, founders of Freya Products and Home Care Webshop, for their cooperation, but also for their enthusiasm and support throughout the project. It was a very educational experience that I will never forget.
