Description

FEATURES:

The Carbon Quad walking stick with MP3 Handle is designed with 9 thoughtful features:

(1) Height Adjustable Carbon Fibre frame: Extremely light and strong tubing with 10 adjustable steps, suitable for user range from 1.4m to 1.8m. Reducing the weight through the use of Carbon-Fibre will enable better handling especially for elderly who are frail.

(2) Interchangeable Base: Patients who suffer from hip or leg injury will normally start using a medium quad to support them. As they journey through their recovery process, they will need walking stick of a smaller base. Conversely, elderly who started using a walking aid with a small base may experience weaker limbs as they age and thus needed a bigger base for extra support. The interchangeable design enables users to select the base according to their needs.

• Anti-Slip Self-Standing Tip: The Anti-Slip design provides excellent traction on its contact to flat surfaces and a soft pivoting joint to encourage natural walking motions.
• Small Quad Base: Centrally aligned to enable flexibility in changing hands. Low profile design to eliminate accidental tripping and accessibility to all types of stairs.
• Medium Quad Base: The profile has intentionally been lowered to eliminate the risk of accidental tripping which is a common challenge among the elderly who may occasionally use a wrong hand on the quad base that is off-set to the sides.

(NOTE: This model comes with the Anti-Slip Self-Standing Tip and the Small Quad Base. The Medium Quad Base can be purchased as a separate accessory if required)

(3) Detachable Wrist Cord: It is designed to ensure that the user will not be obstructed by the walking stick when he/she tries to break-fall. Upon sudden excessive force applied to the wrist cord, it will automatically be detached and thus reduce the chances of having the walking stick obstructing the user.

(4) Reasonable Pricing: The product is marketed in at a reasonable price point for a well-designed and high quality product build. Ensuring that the product remains affordable is paramount in making an impact in the community.

(5) Sustainability: The interchangeable base enables the user to replace the base instead of purchasing a new walking aid to suit their condition. The recyclable flat-pack packaging design means less carbon footprint and easier for storage.

In addition, the MP3 Handle features:

(6) LED Head Lights: High-powered energy-saving LED light (20 lux) with 4 adjustable angles to illuminate the pathway and improve visibility for the user. When fully charged, it can last 10 hours or more.

(7) Red Safety Flashing Lights: A safety feature that can be switched on to enhance the visibility of the user to other road users (eg. bicycles, scooters or cars), particularly when crossing the road at night.

(8) Auto Fall Alarm: When activated, the fall alarm will automatically trigger a loud alarm (of up to 100 decibels) to attract attention during an emergency, such as when the user falls down.

(9) Digital FM Radio and MP3 Player: Users can enjoy their favourite tunes via the integrated MP3 Player (SD card included) and stay engaged with news via their preferred radio stations. Music therapy has been proven to be effective in reducing the rate of dementia deterioration in the elderly.
