[Blindtlk] AmbuTech graphite folding canes with roller tips

[Cindy Ray]

The trick to the tapping method is to not pound and to not raise it too
high. The sweeping method sounds lazy, but then we were taught the tapping
method here. I think the sweeping method is easier on your hands.

You can put a number of tips on most canes.

I think it depends also on how you use your cane.  Eons ago, I was taught
the sweep method of using a cane, whereas my husband was taught the tapping
method.  We jibe each other out of fun.  He thinks my method is weird.  I
think his method is not giving him as much tactile information as mine does.

"Different strokes."

I think a roller tip is good for me.  The roller tip provides me with more
feedback than a regular standard tip on a folding cane.
Last Summer my mobility instructor brought me a new cane with a roller tip
during one of our orientation and mobility training sessions at my college
campus.  The canes with roller tips last longer than the canes with regular
tips.
