Activator Poles | Walking Sticks Help with Parkinson's

We love the Activator Poles because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch people hunch sideways over a cane that only supports one side of the body. Are walking poles better than a cane for balance? For many people, yes: two poles give you a point of support on each side and keep you walking tall with a natural arm swing instead of leaning toward one hand. These were built for rehabilitation, with a strapless CoreGrip handle, a button locking system, and bell-shaped tips that let you bear about 200 pounds through each pole. They are especially helpful for people living with Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, or balance changes after a hip replacement, and they pair with our Urban Poles so a family member can exercise right beside you. If you need a seat for rest breaks or a frame to lean on with both hands, a rollator or walker is the safer choice; also check the 250 pound user weight limit before ordering.
