Exercise Device for Use as a Walking Stick Having an Ergonomically Angled Handle

摘要

An ergonomic walking stick of the present invention is particularly useful during therapeutic exercise involving walking. The ergonomic walking stick of the present invention has an ergonomically angled handle that is configured such that said angled handle section is offset from the longitudinal axis of the elongated shaft and that allows for a more comfortable wrist angle through the entire walking stride. In one exemplary embodiment, the ergonomically angled handle is angled with respect to the handle support section and is further canted in relation to the plane defined by the vertical axis of the shaft and the horizontal axis of the handle support section.
