Stair Assist Cane – Less Effort Going Up, Less Impact Coming Down, Lightweight

I have been using this for 4 months now to get up and down the concrete steps to my garage. Wow, what a difference it has made since there is NO railing. I have been using 2 canes to walk for over a year now and also was using them to go up and down the garage stairs. It was getting very painful to lift myself up the stairs using my strongest leg although coming down the stairs was easy. Then I got this RS Cane. It is so much easier and less painful by being able to use my arm strength and my legs instead of just my weak and painful legs. To stabilize it better, going up the steps, I make certain its back legs are right against the step. Coming down the steps I make certain its front legs are right against the step. For example, to go up the steps (which is the most challenging for me pain-wise), I have the Rock Steady Cane on the left with my left hand on its long-padded rail. It sits with its back legs on the garage floor against the bottom of the step and the top legs on the first step. I lift with my left hand on the Rock Steady Cane and using just one of my regular canes in my right hand on the garage floor and angled backwards a bit, I use it for leverage to push me up on the first step. The combination of lift from the left hand on the Rock Steady Cane and the push from the right-hand regular cane gives me the boost I need to get on the first step. The second step is the same except the cane in the right hand is now on the first step and the RS Cane is on the second step. I lift with the left hand and push with the right cane to rise to the second step. The final step into the house is just slightly taller than the other two but the RS Cane still works great and I lean my left arm on the door frame to be steadier and lift with RS Cane hand and push with the right-hand regular cane which is on the second step. I use the top angled handle on the RS Cane to turn towards the garage, place the RS Cane on the left of the steps, grab my second cane that is leaning against the wall to the left of the second step, and I'm all set. Going down the steps is a little different. I put my second cane against the wall on the second step. Grab the RS Cane making certain its leading feet are against the front edge of the next to bottom step. Then I take my cane that is in my right hand and place it on the bottom step and use that combined with the RS Cane to lower myself onto the second step from the bottom. Move the RS Cane down one step and the right-hand cane to the garage floor and lower myself down another step. For the final step to the garage floor, the RS Cane front feet remain on the garage floor against the bottom step and my right-hand cane is also still on the garage floor and I lower myself down. I use the top angled handle on the RS Cane to turn around and grab my left cane that is leaning against the wall on the second step. If a person had greater leg strength and less pain that I have then the RS Cane would work as they show in the videos. I have adapted it as I described above to work for me. In using the Rock Steady Cane, I do make certain I put my weight evenly on the long handle and try to remain with my weight directly over it and not to one side or it will wiggle and not be as steady. Hopes this helps any of you with similar challenges in mobility as I have. I highly recommend this RS Cane and am very glad I bought it and am able to use it so effectively, safely, and with so much less pain than before.

While this staircase came is more expensive- It truly is a lifesaver! I am able to go down the stairwell that I fell down a few weeks earlier and now I can get down to my car and drive it. It is secure it's sturdy And well-made. I was very nervous about going down the stairwell, but I needed to go down to get to my car to get out of My flat upstairs. My PT Home Health person loved it. It is truly worth the money and the effort to order it. I leave it inside the Front door., So I can use it on my return from my doctors appointments. I have my walker at the bottom of the stairs so I can walk out to the car. If you were having a hard time with money, you can ask your family members for an early birthday present or Christmas present to help you pay for it. It is well worth the cost of freedom!👏🏻

I ordered this cane to help my husband with the steps in and out of our home. He has Parkinson’s and his balance and stability have become a real safety issue. We had one of our adult children living with us until a few weeks ago. Now, it is just me helping him up and down the concrete steps. I ran across this step cane and thought it looked like a great tool to help my husband feel stable and safe navigating our porch steps. The day after the step cane arrived he had an appointment. The cane was super easy to put together and we gave it a try. He did great!! When he got down on the sidewalk safely he said, that was so easy! We finished the appointment and even though he was fatigued he went right up the porch stairs without freezing or feeling unstable. This step cane takes a lot of my worries away knowing we can leave and enter our home easy and safely. It is sturdy, but not heavy. It can sit on our covered porch while we are gone. Once home, I can access it quickly and get my husband back inside safely.

I found it very helpful. It does require adjustment for each staircase so it isn't something you can take with you to use. Great if you only want to use it for one place.

Bad knees & back. This is sturdy & very helpful especially going up the stairs with my bad knees. Until my handrails are replaced on upper part of stairs, I have been going down on my butt halfway, fear of falling, Lower portion with handrail, This is helpful & sturdy & comfortable to use. Going up full stairs with cane & this item is without fear of falling. For your convenience, I am 70, 5'8" & quite overweight. This is truly sturdy. Worth EVERY penny on my tight budget.

This stair support cane has been a game-changer for my mom since her stroke. It's made walking up and downstairs much easier for her, providing total stability thanks to its snug fit on two steps at once. The adjustable height makes it easy to customize according to her needs, and its lightweight aluminum construction means she can easily handle it. Whether on carpet or hard surfaces, it offers reliable support, and the convenience of leaving it at the top or bottom of the stairs ensures she's always prepared. This is relieved so much stress since all of our bedrooms are upstairs. Thanks for such a great product!

It is wobbly because you can't adjust it to the exact step height. Only use as an addition to a handrail...not by itself.

Another steady hold

This item is a perfect alternative to a wall-mounted railing. I have a railing on only one side of the stairs in my house which is not enough for me following ankle fusion surgery - this item works just as well as a second railing would. I find it to be very sturdy and love that it's portable and adjustable for other staircases in other places. It is lightweight, easy to take apart and reassemble or to adjust the height without any tools. It is expensive but worth it, at least for me.

This is an outstanding invention for people with mobility problems. Well worth buying. Stairs are no longer scary: no more wobling about teetering on the edge of a cane praying you wont fall with every step. This totally replaces the need for a handrail, so can be used on any staircase because it is adjustable. Very stable. So lightweight it can even be disassembled and packed for travel. Quality craftsmanship as well. You won't regret the purchase and will be asking yourself why someone didn't make one of these sooner.

This is so helpful for getting up and down stairs safely with a broken leg. So much more stable than the crutches. It is adaptable to your own staircase, so easy to set up.

Wie erwartet

This was purchased for an elderly person to help with garden steps. Unfortunately, we had to return it as the user did not find it easy to use nor sturdy enough. This was partly because the garden steps it was meant for were slightly different heights so once you select the height, it’s not variable and unsafe. Also, it’s awkward to store when not in use as it naturally tilts. May work much better for uniform house stairs. It took a couple of weeks to arrive as not dispatched from Amazon and came from abroad, but the seller was good and offered a free return collection and refund.
