The Nordic Walking Poles are proving very popular. There are increasing numbers of people taking up Nordic Walking as a unique form of exercise which burns up more calories than normal walking and exercises the upper body at the same time as the lower body. They come with a unique style of wrist strap.

We believe that they will be very popular with customers who need a stick but do not want it to look like an orthopaedic one. Unlike a crook handle umbrella it is designed to be strong enough to lean on. It adjusts from 32.5” to 36”.

These sticks are suitable for bariatric (very heavy) individuals. They are considerably stronger than normal sticks and are all supplied at 42” long but can be cut by the customer to the required length. Care should be taken to explain to the customer that these sticks are designed to be support sticks. They should not be used in any other manner to help them get up as they can put unusual forces on them.

They are very strong but due to the aluminium shaft weight is kept to a minimum whilst the soft grip handle is reassuring for the elderly or those recovering from illness or injury. They are adjustable from 31” - 40”.

A Guide to Walking Sticks Handle
Collar
Shaft or Shank
Crook Handle
Walking Sticks or Canes have been used and collected for centuries. In the 19th and early 20th centuries they were a fashion accessory with different canes “worn” for different occasions, and times of day. A rustic wooden stick would have been used for walking, a silver topped dress cane for more formal occasions or evenings, and gadget canes for some specific function. There were hundreds of gadget canes available featuring watches, compasses, snuff mulls, telescopes, opera glasses and swords amongst many other things.
Crutch Handle
In the 21st century many of the sticks available are functional, such as the aluminium folding canes, hiking poles and lightweight seat sticks. Although these modern sticks are made from different materials they all have handles, shafts and ferrules similar to the sticks from the past. In this section we have described the names of the different parts and styles of handles to give you more information to help you sell sticks to your customers. Derby Handle
Anatomical Handle
Knob Handle
Thumbstick
IDEAL HEIGHT When the handle reaches the wrist bone it is at the recommended length.
FERRULE The majority of Dress Sticks and Country Sticks are fitted with metal ferrules. Orthopaedic Sticks are usually fitted with rubber ferrules.
