Combi Fischer Adjustable Walking Stick

A Fischer handle is a shaped walking-stick grip designed to spread pressure more evenly across the palm. The Combi Fischer Stick uses separate left- and right-handed handles.

The shaped handle may be useful for people who find a conventional walking-stick grip difficult to hold comfortably. Trulife specifically describes the design as useful for people with poor grip.

Yes. The handle is hand-specific. Modern Mobility offers separate Left Handed and Right Handed versions of the Combi Fischer Stick.

Choose the version corresponding to the hand in which the walking stick will be held. Where a walking stick is being used because one leg is affected, Trulife's general guidance is to hold the stick in the hand opposite the affected leg. Follow individual professional advice where provided.

The walking stick adjusts from 686mm (27") to 1067mm (42").

Press the brass buttons on both sides of the adjustment tube, turn the lower section slightly and extend or retract it to the required height. Release the buttons and check that the pins are fully located through the adjustment holes before use.

Trulife advises that, when standing upright with the stick beside you, the handgrip should reach just above the wrist joint. When holding the handgrip, the arm should be slightly bent. Individual requirements can vary, so follow professional advice where provided.

Yes. The manufacturer gives the Combi Fischer Stick a maximum user weight of 160kg, equivalent to approximately 25 stone.

The adjustable shaft is made from anodised aluminium and is fitted with a shaped Fischer handle and rubber ferrule.

The Combi Fischer Stick is fitted with a 22mm anti-slip rubber ferrule.

Trulife recommends using the walking stick with the Fischer handle facing backwards.

Trulife recommends cleaning the walking stick using mild detergent and warm water.

Check that the rubber ferrule has sufficient tread and is not unevenly worn, the handgrip is secure and undamaged, the spring clips protrude fully through the adjustment holes and the aluminium tubing is not cracked or bent. The adjustment holes should also remain round and undistorted.

Stop using the walking stick if you discover loose, worn or damaged parts. Worn ferrules and other damaged components should be replaced before the stick is used again.

No. The Combi Fischer Stick is height adjustable but is not a folding walking stick. The shaft adjusts between 27" and 42" using its spring-button adjustment system.
