The walking cane has seen hardly any change over hundreds, or even thousands of years, but Kineticane LLC (Caldwell, NJ) is now aiming to take the biggest leap forward in cane technology by developing a walking aid called Isowalk that is able to adapt to its user. Unlike conventional canes that create concentrated loads on the wrist that can lead to wrist and arm aches, the Isowalk has a smart force relief system that adapts to the user’s weight, wrist pressure, and gait, providing customized cushioning as the user walks. The Isowalk is also promoted to be self propulsive, having the ability to position itself for each next step with minimal user effort.
