Is this cane good for people who need a 4 pronged cane or a regular single cane?

I got the Hugo primarily because it will stand up and be out of the way so no one will trip over it. I think regular canes might slip more easily on slick surfaces.

I agree with the other reveiwer. This cane is a better design than the 4 prong and will not cause a tripping hazard. It will stand up on it's own and if the bottom pod ever wears out you can buy additional pads.

Having never had to use a cane before I would hazard a guess that it would be much better than a single since it is more stable--that is it will stand on its own. I had no trouble with using mine.

I love my cane. It does not squeak, jingle or make noises. It is sturdy and lightweight. I've thought about getting another with a different pattern.

Yes! I shortened my wifes cane by about 2" with no adverse affects. She loves it!

It depends on the agility of the person. The item has height settings and you want it high enough to push yourself into a standing position, however a cane top should come to your mid-wrist for walking. Adjusting the item is a bit cumbersome; but it might be useful.

I was not able to find anything. The cane that I had bought this for did not fit because it was too thin. I was unable to use it. If anyone can figure it out, I could use the answer too. Sorry. Did not realize when purchasing that it would not fit.

the handle is perfect, it is configured to fit your hand and very comfortable. My favorite cane by far and I get a lot of compliments on it. (slightly curved to answer your question)

I have used it for both the right and left hand so I think you will be OK with this cane.

There is a cane called " Hurrycane" which sounds perfect 4 your needs. I looked it up on Google after asking a nurse what would be safest.

The quad cane I have is about the same weight as a regular cane. It is not heavy at all and has the advantage that it stands by itself anywhere, so you never have to bend over to pick it up or find a convenient place to lean it against.

I think it is also too wide for the tip of the folding cane to fit into tightly. You also wouldn't be able to fold the cane with the tip on, and it should be on tight enough that it shouldn't come off that easily. I bought this for my mom, who uses it on her sturdy canes, and more distant outdoor walking, where she relies on more support. She saves the folding cane for much shorter walks, or inside places, like restaurants or hotels - that type of thing.

My cane is metal and very top heavy so it does not stand up on its own with this cane tip BUT it is very easy to get the cane upright when it falls down. Just step on the edge of the cane tip and it pops right up. As I was having trouble picking my cane up from the floor this was a feature I needed. My cane falls over many times daily so this was a wonderful feature. This cane tip also gives more stability to your walking as it seems to work like a mini-pronged cane.

I'm was not as happy with this cane as the orginal one. My mom's friend purchased the orginal and its great, I purchased the Trusty Cane and was not as happy. Best advise buy the orginal one.

It's made for a 3/4" cane. you need a cap on the bottom of the cane, open tube will not work. These items are hit or miss. Sometimes they last 6 months sometimes only 2 months. The quality is not consistent.

The pivot refers to the movement of the rubberized tip of the cane. It can move in response to the hand movement of the user. The tip of the cane is a triangle-like shape and about 2 inches wide. This cane is great for someone who needs a small amount of assistance. I am 71 and had a knee replacement with complications. I found this cane not to be enough support for going up and down curbs. I have a rolling walker and found that to be much more help in general. This cane is good for taking inside restaurants and other tighter quarters when with other people who can help. The folding up feature is what makes it unsteady, in my opinion.

No clue, other than it too heavy to be of any real value. I guess that because it is so heavy, that it might cause the sections to separate when you go to lift the cane up.

I really don't know. I hadn't heard of it. This was my husband's cane, so I wasn't really familiar with it.
