FAQ
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about The Rock Steady Cane.
What heights will the RSC adjust to?
The RSC has eight, one-inch height adjustments best fitted to individuals between 5'0"/1524 mm - 6'3"/1905 mm.
Note: Always make sure the brass adjustment buttons are securely seated in the mating holes before using.
How do I adjust the height?
1. Push in the brass indent buttons.
2. Slightly twist the aluminum tube and move the tube up or down to your desired height, then twist the tube back until the brass indent buttons snap into the appropriate mating holes.
Note: Make sure the indent buttons of both legs of the RSC are at the same numbered positions.
How do I know to what height I should adjust the RSC?
With your arms dangling loosely at your side, the handle of the RSC should be at the same height as your wrist.
On what side of my body, do I use the RSC?
Theoretically, your bad leg (knee, hip, ankle, foot) should be opposite the side of the cane. However, this depends on the strength of your hand and wrist and in which hand you are most comfortable with the cane. Use the side that is most comfortable and stable for you.
What side of the RSC goes next to my body?
The feet of the RSC have two different lengths. Always keep the shorter feet next to your body. This will significantly reduce the potential for tripping by accidentally kicking the longer feet.
How do I replace the rubber grommets on the feet of the RSC?
The rubber grommets will twist off the metal tubes. The rubber grommets are in direct contact with various surfaces, which naturally causes wear on the rubber. This is a natural occurrence that occurs on all canes, crutches and walkers. You can purchase new grommets at drugs stores, or big box home goods stores, and elsewhere. Note: Look in the bottom of the grommet to ensure you can see a metal washer. This washer prevents the ends of the cane's tube from cutting through the soft rubber grommets.
Can I use more than one RSC at the same time?
Yes. This provides more rapid movement forward along with greater lateral stability. Make sure to keep the short legs next to the user.

Reviews
Here are a few real reviews from actual customers.
After having a knee replacement, I got a very bad infection, that caused the Dr to surgically remove my knee, and place me on antibiotics for a 5 month period. During most of that time, I used a heavy duty walker to get around. My walker is heavy and I had to always bring it in the car with me-so lifting it, in and out of the car began to be difficult for me. As I started feeling better, but still without a knee, I wanted an easier solution to my problem of how to go to the store, or a restaurant, without the difficulty of the heavy walker. A friend introduced me to the Rock Steady Cane, what a life-saver it has been for me. I'm now able to walk short distances, with my Rock Steady Cane, and it is so light and easy to just put in the car with me. A normal cane would not make it possible for me to get around, as they are just not steady enough for my needs. I've had so many people stop me and ask me how they can get one too. I love it because it's light-weight, easy to put beside me in the car, but stable enough for me to feel safe. So happy with my new Rock Steady Cane.
I like that it is wider at the top than conventional canes. The bar you hold onto allows you to hold on with both hands when you need extra support. I also like it because it is more stable than my other canes. The cross bar that is underneath the one you hold on to is handy for me because I fold my clothes over it so that when I take it into the bathroom to take a shower, my clean clothes are right there within reach.
The Rock Steady Cane has made such a significant difference in my mobility. A traumatic accident caused significant damage to both of my legs and the eminent amputation of my left leg. I have used many mobility devices. Crutches seemed to be my best option until I started using the Rock Steady Cane. I am now able to walk with much more stability. Where I needed two crutches before, now I only need one Rock Steady Cane. It gives me the balance and stability I don't get from the crutch. I have a free hand to do household tasks, or carry groceries from the car and the Rock Steady Cane is also very versatile. I can use it to walk on uneven ground safely. I also like the convenience of the smaller size. It fits easily into my car, or between my bed and night stand. When I get tired while walking, the cane can be turned sideways and used to support my weight so that I can rest. I am much more mobile and feel significantly safer while using the Rock Steady Cane.
When I had my first hip replacement, they gave me a walker. I put so much weight (about 200 lbs) on it that the plastic wheels on it completely ruined the hardwood floors in my house. When my second hip was replaced I used the Rock Steady Cane. It gave me enough support. At first I used it with two hands in front of me with all of my weight. The four rubber feet were great at protecting our wood floors.
Several things I liked about the Rock Steady Cane: First, when I no longer needed as much support I just used it like a cane on the side opposite the new hip like I would use a normal one point cane, but with more stability. Second, I found that when walking down a slope I could hold onto one top corner of the wide handle and it gave me a little more reach in front of me by using the advantage of the diagonal being longer than straight down. Third, it didn't damage the wood floors in my house. Finally I think the thing that I found most helpful was using it when going somewhere in the car. I simply put the feet of the Rock Steady Cane in the foot well and stuck the handle beside the seat between me and the door. I would set it outside before I even started to get out of the car. If I was parked on a hill, it would hold my door open while I got out. I no longer had to scoot along the car trying to use both hands for support to get to the back seat for a walker and then lean on the car while I unfolded the awkward walker. The Rock Steady Cane has been a Godsend in my life!
My mother just had her second hip replacement when we got the Rock Steady Cane for assistance in her recovery. The cane was fabulous as a stabilizer getting her up and down from bed and/or chair, or assistance in walking or physical therapy. The cane was far more stable than other canes used previously and less cumbersome than a full walker. We highly recommend the cane to anyone in these circumstances or others.
