Offset Cane by Vive
Providing additional support and stability while walking, the Vive offset cane centers the user’s weight over the cane base for greater balance and support while reducing hand and wrist fatigue. Fitted with a nonslip rubber cane tip, the offset cane can be used while navigating any surface. Used in either hand, the cane height is also adjustable for a comfortable, customized fit.
Offset Handle for Even Weight Distribution and Reduces Wrist Fatigue:
Ergonomically designed, the offset handle centers the individual’s weight over the base of the cane for better balance and support. The offset hand grip also reduces hand and fatigue for a comfortable experience.
Added Stability and Traction:
Safely navigate over any surface with the slip resistant rubber cane tip that is also non-marking. The offset cane is also compatible with most replacement cane tips.
Comfortable Ergonomic Grip:
Fitted with an ergonomically contoured hand grip, the cane handle creates a secure, yet comfortable grip perfect for daily use. The handle also includes a wrist strap for added convenience.
Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant Frame:
Constructed with a durable anodized aluminum, the offset cane is exceptionally lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Dual security features include a push button adjustment pin with a locking ring to ensure that the cane stays at the set height without slipping or rattling. The versatile cane is adjustable from 29″ to a maximum of 38″ and supports up to 250 pounds.

It Works but it Weighs… I own two types of cane from VIVE–this one and an aluminum number with a ‘foamier’ shepherd’s crook handle. Both are securely adjustable. Over several weeks of changing between one and the other, I have settled on using the aluminum one: it is lighter and less ‘industrial’ looking and feeling. The handle on the aluminum cane is more comfortable in the hand as this one tends to be firm, flat and less rounded along the sides. Should you be particularly heavy (over 250 pounds, say) this…
And Vive makes three… This is one of three canes I now own. Each cane serves a different purpose that’s determined by the terrain I’m on. My first one has three tall tripod legs that flex like individual shock absorbers. That’s the one I use when I’m outdoors on uneven ground. The hurry cane is used on my ‘good days when ‘I’m feeling better and can move around more easily. The Vive cane is best for my slower “creaky” days. It’s sturdier and can bear more of my weight when I’m trying to get up out of my…
Comparison of Nova and Vive canes I also use a Nova so am able to compare the two. The Nova seems to have some small advantages over the Vive. The grip and tip are not tightly attached to the Vive and can be rotated easily, not so on the Nova. The Nova has not rattled since the initial length adjustment, the Vive has required frequent retightening to prevent rattling. The Nova is advertised as supporting 300 pounds and the Vive 250. There is no noticeable weight or tubing size difference, tho I did not weigh or measure them…
