Wood Fritz Handle
Canes come in a variety of designs. Many are largely decorative or ornamental, and some are even luxurious. That tradition comes from centuries ago, when canes first became status symbols and part of a gentleman's attire. What cannot be forgotten is that for many, canes must serve the practical purpose of aiding in mobility. More than looking good, they must provide stability to those who prefer it — or need it.
Curiously, at least one type of cane handle straddles that line: Fritz handle canes. This is what we call canes whose handles have that familiar waviness to them. It was designed by a 17th-century German Count who wanted to make a more comfortable cane for arthritic hands. Their specific shape makes it less painful and difficult for resting one's palm. Their grip is similarly designed to relieve pressure while maintaining stability. On top of all that, their appearance is just plain appealing.
Fritz handle canes can help people with arthritis, along with other medical conditions and maladies. They can also look quite stylish. If you are a fan, we offer a nice variety of them here at Alex Orthopedic.
