Walking Cane Handle

A 12-week collaboration between Swinburne University of Technology and Year 9 students from Bialik College results in a revamped walking cane, designed to be more attractive and functional as part of the BrainSTEM Innovation Challenge. The redesigned handle enables users to easily exit chairs using both hands; the ridge along the handle accommodates glow-in-the-dark paint for improved nighttime visibility, while the hook securely latches onto wrists for enhanced mobility. This design not only prioritizes usability but also incorporates fashionable elements. The team drew inspiration from heritage aspects like 1960s automotive design and vintage ski poles, as well as current color trends. The handle is engineered to accommodate a 25mm diameter dowel shaft, which can be cut to the desired length using online sizing guides. A 25mm diameter rubber stopper caps the shaft for added durability.
