If your walking stick falls to the ground will you be able to pick it up easily? The Handle
The traditional Crook handle is comfortable to walk with and steady
yourself if you stumble, and it is easy to hang up when not in use. It is
strongest when the handle is all one piece with the shaft.
The Knob handle may be more elegant and decorative.
The Y-handle as in the thumbstick is wonderful
to lean on and catch your breath.
The Crutch handle is more suitable for somebody who really has to lean on
the stick, as it helps spread the pressure on the hand, and the modern “Derby” crutch, invented by Lord Derby in England, hangs easily on arm, rail or table.
It comes in different styles. Melbourne crutch is very similar.

| South African Walking Stick Range |
Styled after the classic walking sticks, but with less expensive finishes.
The benefits are in the handle!
Its design is comfortable and makes you feel safe and steady
The shaft of the stick is made from Saligna wood, sturdy but not rigid, which reduces discomfort from vibrations on hard surfaces.
The stick is fitted with a moulded crutch handle for comfort and added support.
This “Comfort” grip is ideal for the person who needs to put weight on the stick
either through infirmity
or inadvertently when out walking.
The shape of the grip distributes the pressure over the whole hand
(with no pressure points) and the hand cannot slide over the top – back or front.
The design makes it possible to hang the stick over the arm or table/shelf/chair.
Fitted with a hard rubber ferrule with multiple rings on the base to reduce the risk of slipping.

| Length - the suggested correct length is just above the top of the thigh bone - which allows the hips and the shoulders to be level when the walking stick is placed fairly close to the body and pressure is exerted. When standing with your arms hanging loosely at your sides, in your usual shoes, measure from the floor to your wrist.

Special Ferrules
Seat stick Ferrule
With square hole and reinforced base.
For use on seat sticks when walking with the stick on hard ground.
Obviously if you frequently sit on the stick on hard ground (while this ferrule is fitted), the extra pressure means that the ferrule won’t last as long.

Physiotherapists recommend the following method of determining the correct height for a walking stick. The walking stick user should stand upright, in the type of shoes they usually wear, with their arms hanging naturally by their sides. Another person should turn the walking stick upside down, so that the handle is resting on the floor. Positioning the stick next to the user, make a small mark on the shaft of the stick level with the bump at the bottom of the wrist bone. Using a small saw, cut the stick at this point. This will mean that the user's arm will be slightly bent when they hold the stick.
If the walking stick user is not present, for example if they are buying their walking stick by mail order or through the internet, they can determine how long their walking stick should be by asking another person to measure the distance from their wrist bone to the floor. The walking stick user should ensure they are standing correctly i.e. standing upright, in the type of shoes they usually wear, with their arms hanging naturally by their sides.
Please note that this information is a guide only. Consult your doctor or physiotherapist if you require specific, medical advice on this matter.
