- ACTIVATOR® Walking Poles for Balance and Rehabilitation – 1 Pair – Ergonomic CoreGrip™ Handles – Adjustable, Collapsible, and Lightweight for Stability and Recovery in Silver/Red

I’m recovering from spine surgery and am supposed to walk every day. But the only way I can walk any distance is with support. Canes don’t cut it for neighborhood walks, nor does a walker. I found regular hiking poles, which helped. Then I found these. I almost didn’t get them because they are triple the price of regular trekking/hiking poles I already have. Then I thought, why not try them? From the very first step, they made walking easier and I was able to go much further without coming back exhausted. They were totally worth it. Better than canes, better than walkers, better than hiking poles. Extremely easy to adjust height and very stable.

Excellent poles. Large rubber footprint. Ergonomic handles, shaped to allow downward pressure on pole without having to grip pole tighter. Instructions come with to accurately adjust pole length. Pole is stout/rugged diameter. Pole does not shimmy shake, noodle wiggle while being used. Also excellent for large people. I'm a 6", 245# man. I feel very safe and stable using walking sticks.

These poles are a life saver! Helps me keep my balance on uneven ground. Very sturdy, well made and I really like the handles.

I like the comfort of the hand grips and the stability of the large bottom pad. They are easy to adjust down but are too long to fit into the majority of luggage even while advertised as traveling. They made it possible for me to walk on uneven cobbles, up stairs and steep slopes while enjoying cruise excursions. However the omission of straps made it awkward to not hold them while taking pictures. The Velcro binding and the clip make it possible to join the two into a stable unit and use as one pole. I appreciate the sturdy feel but wish they were packable. It's difficult to negotiate airports while dragging luggage and carrying the poles. The were recommended to me by my balance/mobility therapist and I practiced with them prior to purchase.

My physical therapist recommended these and I was hesitant at first, but they are now my favorite mobility aid. My arms are weak and often tire from using a cane, but the way these hiking poles fit in my hand and swing automatically, they do not tire my arms and provide me with better balance. They are lightweight, strong, and don't really require any assembly at all beyond pushing the little button and sliding them to the correct height. I've taken them with me to concerts and simply slide them small to store under my seat which is much easier to manage than a rollator walker or traditional arm crutches.

These seem perfectly designed for me. Comfortable, sturdy and adjustable.

Setting the height was a bit tricky. Once set they worked as expected.

Well constructed. Helps with balance difficulties when ambulating.

These poles are amazing! I have a balance disorder which has lately been causing more pronounced stability issues, and these have worked wonderfully in giving me my confidence back! Lightweight, easy to hold and adjust, arrived quickly, and exactly as described. Absolutely recommend 100%!

I have Parkinsons disease with balance problems. These poles have given me confidence to walk further and with better pace. The handles are a great design feature,ensuring that there is no muscle tension in hand, arm or shoulder. The ferrule on the bottom ensures a firm plant of the pole. Adjustment of length straightforward. Arrived very quickly. Worth every penny!

These have changed my life. At 89 years of age I found walking very tiring and my back ached. With these poles I am able to be more upright which alleviates the back problem and I am striding out as the poles help with balance and seem to adjust the weight more evenly. Now I try to walk outside every day and am really enjoying it whereas before I had to make myself venture out as I knew how uncomfortable I would feel. These poles are the best value for money

I am very, very pleased that the walking poles arrived in only two days. On the 16th of the month, the estimate had been the 22nd to 29th. They arrived on the 18th. This was fabulous because I needed the poles urgently, and preferred these poles in particular. Excellent product. The hand grips are well-designed with a palm rest. There is no distinction between where your index finger should sit, and that knob would be annoying. IN PARTICULAR: The end fittings are round and full, which provides for good stability.

Extremely good for correcting posture. I particularly liked the grip on the handles and the fact that these poles don’t slide shorter over time. The length is fixed to your desired specifications
