Back ground: Older people in Russia have trouble in walk around. They need new equipment to fulfill their needs, to up grade the walking equipment, to ease their pain while they are stroll. Also, in Russia, it is very sllipery in winter, so we need more special/more antiskid materials for the stick.

Design concept: According to research, using trekking poles while walking can reduce the force placed on muscle joints such as the legs and knees by at least 22%, making the legs feel more comfortable. Using two trekking poles at the same time provides better balance. After knowing this, i decided to design a walking stick that is designed based on trekking poles.

I make the handle of the stick in trekking pole’s way, to make the wrist feel less pressure. Also i add a soft materials under the handle. it can hold the hand, so the user wont feel pain on her/he side of the hands.

I use the same material as trekking poles. This will give the older people more power and less pressure on the leg.

The joint is able to spin, still, it can fit all different slope angles. The main part of the stick is also retractable, it can fit any height.

I add special equipment inside the joint so it will lock when the joint spin to some specific angle. So you dont need to worry about it will “spin around”

The bottom of the stick have antiskid tips to avoid the problems that the slippery ground may cause.

I’ll be very happy to hear your opinions!
