What it is:
The Apallo cane is an example of current technology addressing the issues of outdated cane design. Created by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Palo, the Apallo mobility assistance technology addresses the hazards and limitations related to outdated walking device models. This helps provide updated technology that allows a full cycle of mobility, from sitting to standing to walking. Late night injuries, increased falls, chronic muscle strain injuries and more inspired a design evolution that resulted in an end product that helps increase maneuverability and safety for its users.
What it does:
The cane’s primary handle is soft foam and placed at a slight downward angle to increase leverage benefits and reduce soft tissue injury commonly found in cane users accrued from repetitive movement and strain, as well as fall risks.
The first of its kind, the Apallo cane features a second handle located below the upper foam handle, to safely assist the user when rising from a sitting position. The Apallo cane’s lower handle is ergonomically designed for both comfort and security with a soft grip, slip-proof handle.
The cane height is fully adjustable. Many cane-related injuries have been linked to incorrect cane fitting in relation to the user’s size. It is recommended that users either seek the advice of a physician to assure correct height requirements for size and weight.
In addition to the angled arm and second handle, Apallo canes feature a high-intensity LED light easily accessed for nighttime maneuverability. The Apallo technology’s high intensity light illuminates a pathway-width swath of light that prevents injury at any location, be it a late-night bathroom trip or navigating an unlevel sidewalk on an evening stroll. The increased illumination without having to reach for a light should helps decrease accidents and injury of nocturia patients.
What is included:
• Apallo Cane (measurements: cane: opened 36-1/2"H, closed 31-1/2"H; handle 7"L x 1-1/4" diameter; 500 lbs maximum weight capacity)
