I suffer from sclerosis and due to the fact that I have instability, the cane does not serve me. I decided to go try it in a store with orthopedic products, since years ago doctors had suggested it to me. Back then I ignored them, but in the end, I should have gotten it back then. Personally, it changed my life inside and outside the house. I do everything with it. I go alone to places I couldn't go before because I always wanted someone with me to rely on. It closes very easily, fits very easily in the car, and is very lightweight. It requires attention in the beginning until you learn how to handle it so you don't lean forward. Now, I have learned it so well that I wonder all these years why I didn't get it.
