Specification Sheet
Description Tucane is an advanced walking assist device that imitates a hip, as if the user had three hips on the body for extra support. This new and innovative concept substitutes conventional canes, as it is completely revolutionary. The Tucane helps the user to walk with a perfect form and posture. It also allows the user to walk in a perfect gait (Heel-Flat-Toe), reducing and preventing back pain as a result of incorrect posture during the walk. During the walk, Tucane moves forward at the level of the leg while the user advances. It is equipped with a spring on the handle of the cane that pushes the Tucane forward as the user lifts the cane from the ground, producing a feeling as if the cane is walking on its own, avoiding extra stress or force required from the user. The Tucane is adjustable and adapts to the user’s correct height. The Cane tip equipped in all Tucane Ergonomic canes is based of an advanced medical anti-slippery and extra strong rubber. During the walk, the Ergocap Cane Tip will simulate the foot and ankle joint articulation, allowing for a perfect walk (Heel-Flat-Toe) and reducing impact and vibration from contact with the ground. The grip handle of the Tucane is manufactured from a soft, ergonomic rubber. It was designed to reduce impact and stress on the different anatomic structures of the body, such as wrists, elbows, and shoulders. The grip handle allows preventing inflammation or pain in any of these areas. At the same time, Tucane corrects the user’s posture while walking. Overall, Tucane reduces impact and vibration while promoting a perfect gait. It also emulates the articulation of the human hip. It is in this way that the Tucane stands out from any other cane or walking stick in the market. Tucane is more than a cane, it’s a third hip!
How It Works Tucane’s design mimics the human's hip natural movement: Yellow and blue halos on the image represent the main support, which mimic the trochanters in the human anatomy. In color orange, the second support repre- sented by the neck of the femur and a third rotated support, the handle, that mimics the head of the femur.
