Apallo Cane, Aluminum/Black

I purchased this cane as a gift for my mother, who uses two standard canes to walk around. I am very happy with the quality of this product - it's solid and works as designed. Since my mother is used to using two standard canes, I think it will take her a while to get used to this one, but to me it seems to work well. The only drawback that I can think of, is in the way the handles are designed. You can hang standard canes by the handle on the edge of a table, for instance, but this cane has a slanted finger protector (not sure how to describe it - but it's clearly visible in the photos), which doesn't allow you to hang the cane over a table edge. I suppose it would be better for hanging on a coat hook than a standard cane.

When I saw the lower handle I immediately knew that I really did need this cane! I have limited mobility (arthritis) and getting up from a seated position is extremely difficult. When I am down, I need something to hold on to in order to get up. This is what I needed! I have fallen on the stairs outside two times and if I had this cane when I fell, I would have been able to use the lower grip to get on my feet. When I need to get down on the floor, I always make sure I have something to help my back up. Well, this is well made, lightweight, and perfect. The rubberized grips, led flashlight, and rope loop are a real plus. Where I go, this ane goes! Recommended!

I purchased this cane because I have IBM and and have dificulty in getting out of chairs. I found it provided no assistance or, in fact, made things worse. Perhaps it helps others with different types of disabilities but I definitely would not recommend this cane as an aid in getting up. Its use in walking is worse than using a standard cane because of the clumsiness of the second handle.

When I opened the box all I found was a small piece of paper requesting a rating on Amazon of anything above three stars and to call a number shown on the small piece paper, before I published on Amazon, if I was going to give the product three stars or less. I could not understand why the directions on how to properly adjust the canes length and how to install the batteries and use the flashlight were not included with the cane. There are 2 red caps on the cane and out of curiosity I pulled one of the red caps off and I found some instructions inside of one of the tubes. Every time I tried to pull the instruction out of the tube with my finger I just pushed them further back into the tube. After a little bit of fiddling I was able to fish the instructions out of the tube The instructions were well hidden and I only found then by luck. Now that I found the instructions there was nothing in them on how to properly adjust the cane, where to find the batteries, how to install the them and use the flashlight. The product seems to be well made, but the "hide and go seek" process with the instruction really needs to be eliminated and the instruction need to provide more detail on how to adjust and use the cane's features.

the cane was to with batteries (no batteries in package)

I bought this for my mom, who has diabetes and finds it hard to walk and get up from chairs. She loves it, and was surprised that she actually needed something to help her get up from a chair. She never thought about it, but now wouldnt be without this. She's smaller than 'average', at 4'4", so the top handle is a bit tall for her, but she says she manages and wouldnt change a thing.

The Palo Medical aPallo Cane is great. It definitely helps you to stand up from a seated position. It is lightweight, compact and quad bases that can be purchased to make it stand on its own fit perfectly. The handles are comfortable, it comes with a strap, and the LED light in the handle is bright and useful. I bought this through Amazon and they sent me bulbs for the light that were not packaged ( the aPallo Medical instructions stated they were in a package) and did not work. The bulbs were stuffed loosely in to the handle. I believe that I received a returned item because the bulbs were unpackaged. This is a great cane but buy it from the company itself if possible.
