my doctor is very reluctant about these canes because they do not talk about the strengnth of the cane vs body weigth.

The cane worked very well for my wife for 8 months, when she was suffering with cancer , before she passed. It prevented her from falling down . She was 5 foot 2 inches, and weighed 140, in the beginning, and weighed 100 at the end when she passed. God bless her, and , may she rest in peace.

I weigh about 150 lbs and I have no problem with it. As a matter of fact I own 2 and just love them.

I bought one of these but not received, would be to place the base of the cane from my grandmother. :(

Yes, and I'm certain it says that in the little 'blurb' given by Amazon. This has been a great cane for the price. While I only needed it for a short while, I passed it on to a friend who has a more longterm issue. She is happy. Also, the weight bearing on this cane is 300 lbs. Not all canes can claim that fact.

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.

There are 10 adjustments (for the length) on my cane. I am 5' 11" and I use the 4th setting from the shortest length of the cane. I would say get it, if it does not work for you, send it back. I really like the cane in terms of durability and use. Good luck

My advice is to contact the manufacturer or your physical therapist/ trainer. I got these for my wife on advice fr her physical therapist.

i had great difficulty with this item. finally had a male friend do it & he found it hard.i never did use the cup. now the attachment ring is slightly larger & the cane rolls around in it. i would not recommend this item. think there are others that might dothe job.

No, not really. Now, if it is someone putting heavy pressure on the cane, I am sure you will,hear some level of a thud. We have mostly wood floors and sound has not been an issue.

My Mother is 5'2" so I would assume the cane would be far too tall for you too. You can always buy it and try it and if it doesn't work out, send it back.

I'm sorry I can't answer the question. My husband was unable to use the cane. He has right side paralysis and opening the cane was too difficult with one hand.

The cane increments are not marked on the shaft. I had no problem but reading the description it seems That 6 foot is all I would go with.

I don't know since I only use the base that came with the cane. You might try their website's customer service.

I really don't know as I ordered the cane for a relative. Sorry I can't help you

I had to return mine. It says it only goes up to 180lbs and I'm well over that... it was also extremely ugly IMO and nothing like the picture (much much more garishly bright) All the canes from this company are rated for 150-200lbs depending on the model, so their weight limit is very low.

Can't answer this question... I bought the Hurry Cane as a birthday present for a friend of mine and all I know is that she still is very happy with it and does not want to use her old canes because this ones gives her all the stability she needs because she is some how overweight...

I would suggest finding a shorter cane. I am 5' 3" and find it to be a little long at its shortest setting.

It is my understanding that the cane should be about hip-height where pressure can be comfortably applied with the arm in a comfortable position. The cane should be used on the side opposite the affected side.
