Invented by an Arthritis sufferer and refined by an orthopedic Surgeon, the Giddy-Up Stick is a portable sit-to-stand gadget.

The adjustable hand strap is made out of durable canvas and is attached to the cane through a key ring. The stick’s offset foam grip handle has been designed to provide maximum comfort and support, especially to the wrists and hands, which can become sore from prolonged pressure.
