The Lifetime Tru-Motion™ Cane recently was named "Best New Product" by Drug Store News. The award was bestowed at ECRM's Home Health Care 2011 EPPS Show and is given in recognition of the best new product invention from the more than 50 suppliers at the event.
Manufactured by Lifetime Products, the Tru-Motion™ Cane is a revolutionary design unlike any other canes on the market. Its curved foot provides unmatched safety and stability through consistent surface contact with the ground to ensure a solid, stable foundation regardless of the length of stride or the angle the cane is held - even on difficult to maneuver steps and hills. The innovative style of the cane facilitates a natural, full-range cadence that gives reliable feedback to increase mobility and confidence in walking.
In addition, the Lifetime Tru-Motion™ Cane is uniquely engineered to promote correct posture. By utilizing a full-range walking pattern with the cane, a user expends less energy and maintains a healthy, upright gait. It easily adjusts to different height settings from 31" to 40" and can rotate to both left- and right-handed positions to accommodate all users.
"The Lifetime Tru-Motion™ Cane is a simple, yet dynamic, breakthrough in mobility devices," said Former American Medical Association President Dr. John C. Nelson. "I would recommend it to all my patients. I see this quickly becoming the standard in the market place."
The Lifetime Tru-Motion™ Cane features a sleek design that is simple and easy to use with no moving parts. Its biomechanically advanced design is lightweight and can stand on its own, making it simple to store. The Lifetime Tru-Motion™ Cane currently is available online at Lifetime.com and will be available later this summer nationwide at various medical supply stores. It is partially billable to insurance plans with a doctor's prescription and is a reimbursable expense under Section 125 Cafeteria Plan.
