Hi guys, I am a physiotherapist in Canada. Thanks for doing this review, I think it is very practical and useful. I work with geriatric patients, and appreciate the information you provided regarding the measurement, the handles, the cost, the weight restrictions, and potential tripping hazards. We have many patients who are unsure WHEN it is time to accept the need for a cane, and as you well pointed out, it becomes an issue of pride unfortunately vs fall prevention. I thought it was very useful to see how the canes do or do not stand upright on various surfaces as this is one of the main selling features in the ads on tv. A video on when to switch from a cane to a walker would be great for the general audience too. Thanks for these instructional videos. Cheers!
While I find my Hurrycane useful for it's compactness, my standard cane with the Hugo Quad Pod base is more sturdy, and stable. It can also be adapted to accept an ice-gripper attachment to the cane. You attach it to the cane but drop it between two pods on a side - left or right. When not in use, the ice grip folds up.
My feeling is, if you have to walk with a cane, the word, "hurry" shouldn't even been in your vocabulary any longer
Haha. . My knee is bone on bone shattered meniscus but I have to wait on surgery. There have been a couple of times when I had to hurry but it's never a good thing. Hate to be the one to say: I have a fear of saying 'I've fallen and I can't get up"...
From the looks of it, the name was about the company being in a hurry to sell them.
I have stepped on the tripod edge accidentally and had the Hurry Cane collapse on me several times. Very dangerous indeed.
@@kathiparchem6254 Depends on the person. I like the hurry cuz light weight and easy to take with you. But for older or weaker people might not be the best options. That's why they make many products. The hurry is lil expensive tho.
I almost bought a HurryCane the other day. The commercials make it seem like a miracle. Based on your review, I'm really glad I didn't.
Hello. I am a PT who has developed MS and ambulated with external assist. Meaning for distance I use a cane. Of course I am trying different devices. I used the Hurrycane for the first time today and many complaints I could agree with. It has rubberized comfortable handle that caught the wall better than my fold up canes with the wooden handle. What you great guys with normal gait can’t translate is the features of the Hurrycane. When I was walking at the end of the day I had not walked that fast in months. Through the day when I chose to use it I felt my involved foot clearing the floor better than with my standard cane. I think the slight movement allowed my weight to shift over to my uninvolved side with consistent ability. Personally being middle age I like the fact the cane is straight than the offset look. I hope you professionals also walk with these devices to see if you observe the dynamics. 🖖🏽
Agree the flow of the cane is fantastic compared to stationary stick. I broke my hip and can walk much smoother than with standard cane.
You guys are more helpful than everytime i went to see the Dr for my condition
Thank you very much! This video helped me a lot finding a cane for my grandparents. It is always hard to find a good video for elder's products. Best wishes.
I have a Hurry cane! LOVE IT!! Easy to adjust and use and I feel really secure getting out and around with this cane!!
I purchased the Hugo to use after knee surgery and was glad to see your comparison of the two. Good job on showing the differences in their characteristics. The Hugo was priced competitively and delivered within 3 days from a well known internet source.
My 89 year old aunt has a Hugo, and has balance problems. From what you showed me today, this scares me to death. Thank you. I have balance problems as well, and I know I am not getting that Hugo either!
Thank you for your video review of the "HurryCane" and Hugo Cane! Kudos on the comparison ! You two are wonderfully helpful to folks like me........ we who are " over the hill and rolling happily down the other side " .
I purchased TWO Hurry Canes, one accidentally , having failed to understand the difference between a Hugo QuadPod and a Hugo Quad Cane ( there are in fact 2 of the latter, a Small Quad and a Large Quad ). To be truthful I ordered the shimmery Aquamarine QuadPod because the beautiful rose Small Quad was out of stock. Quelle horreur !
The aquamarine Hugo QuadPod was tippy and unstable relative to the not-very-golden cocoa Hugo Small Quad. Aggghhhhh
I am now the owner of a boring brownish but very safe and stable Hugo Small Quad cane. Hope springing eternal, the beautiful rose Small Quad is currently on order.
Time for You lot to compare the three Hugo Quad canes for us...what about that Large Quad ?!.......and please some marvelous colours !! Please.
Yours very truly,
Penelope Shaw
It would be nice if Hugo sold a tri-base to fit their cane for those who aren’t comfortable with the quad-pod. A hearty thanks for posting this review, it saved us a lot of time, trouble & probably a lot of money too! 😛
There are tribase foot for the Hugo canes. I didn't like it as much.
Thank you for your info of HurryCane vs. Hugo. I recently went to the center of my small town with HurryCane and while I was simply walking on sidewalk it pulled away from me and caused me to fall. I am grateful there were several people there to help me back up. I am pretty bruised and I am so happy that Bob had the courage to mention that problem so it will not happen to others.
Yeah! I am so glad you did this review! I am surprised the Hurrycane collapses like it does when you step on it. I am also surprised by the height difference and the cost. Wow! I have never actually bought the entire Hugo cane. One thing the Hugo has is the Quadpod base you can purchase separately and put it on almost any newer metal cane. I have only bought the bases. The base comes with the Allen wrench. And you can turn the base whichever way you want. You can put this base onto a foldable cane. Another thing..I like the grip on the Hugo base on wet surfaces and on uneven ground. I have thought about getting the Hurrycane just to have another option in my collection, but I think I will save my money. Thanks for doing this. I didn't know Hugo contributed to MS either. Nice job!
What diffternt between quad base that carex sells and qaudopd
Actually it has two collars, both have to be tightened to prevent the Hurrycane from collapsing. The Hurrycane does comes up easily..... I have both. I use the hurrycane for travelling and it does come with a wrist strap that doubles as a Compacting strap for travelling in a car. Slip the strap up and the cane unfolds.
@@ellendickson5523 these Hurrycanes seem to differ vastly!
I've just bought the Freedom edition. No bag came with it, it is completely static and doesn't pivot, and it doesn't have two safety collars to stop it collapsing....only one
@@Mortthemoose Sorry to hear that. I love my standard cane with a quad pod base! But it doesn't compact for traveling, and not all cars have room beside the seat for it.
I would like to know where he purchased the readers he wraps around his neck.
I have the Hugo. I had no idea I could flip the base! Can't wait to try that.
Love my Hurry cane and never tripped with it.
Chris Lauluma Never say never, haha.
Chris Lauluma The first time I tripped with my Hurry cane I was on acid and it was great. Would recommend the Hurry cane for acid, not as much mushrooms as the cane smelled and tasted like pennies.
Plus, the Hugo cane comes in great colors! I just bought a turquoise one. Thanks for your helpful videos!
I wish all canes werer painted in ((HANDICAP BLUE)), with Reflection tape on the cane, so when you are out and about walking, Drivers will see you and Hopefully slow down, But I carry a Whistle with me and blow it at intersections just to alert drivers.
HurryCane is also made in a non-collapsible version.
I want to by my father a new can. He needs a hip replacement but his doctors want him to loose some weight first. He is 5'6" and 325lbs. The Hugo Cane seems like it would be a better, more solid choice for him. We'll will definitely reposition the bottom of the cane since he has wide feet.
Pull apart glasses? Awesome!
They are called ((clic goggles)), they rest around your neck, and click together at the bride of the nose over your regular glasses to help you see better. I use mine all the time to see the ((tiny font)) in the phone book or the ingredients of a food product that I'm going to buy.

Bridge of nose.
Nobody has talked about the rubber pads on the hurricane. You must check them often. The screws back out and the pads come off. You can fall when this happens. I have two hurrycanes. This has happened to both of them. The whole foot and stem came off one and can’t be put together again. I’m glad it happened in the house or I would have fallen. I still like this cane very much because it has a give and makes it easy to walk.
Wow!
Very good review. Directo to the danger of using the HurryCane. Thanks !
Unless you really need quad base or foldable stick don't bother. Adjustable stick good idea though.
The HurryCane does come folded up in the store. You could cut the strap by mistake.
Would be nice if they were both foldable!
Since my husband had a stroke 10 yrs. ago we have been through several canes. The HurryCane only stands up on a hard floor. If you accidentally step on the base as you walk the cane will pull apart. I superglued it together, problem solved. It's a cheaply made cane and not very sturdy. His first one had a light, nice feature til it quit working. H e didn't like the Quad bottom piece on his next cane. The next HurryCane purchased the bottom piece was not as mobile which was better but, we still superglued the pieces together, it's a risk for pulling apart and collapsing. Now he wants a posture cane.....he changes canes like some people change spouses!
I like the ankle base on the Hurrycane and I like how light it is. As a 4’9” with a “longer” wingspan, the shortest height is perfect. If the Hurrycane breaks though, I’m trying the Hugo. Thank you!
I just got a hurry cane and the base is round, with four feet it stands very well. I got it for Christmas
If you spin the cane in the base it will stand better
Thanks for sharing!
The Hurry is solid but doesn't stand on carpet but a bit expense imo. Never once had it come apart if used correctly.
I have a different foldable cane that just isn't worth it for the convenience factor, doesn't feel sturdy enough, even though it doesn't have a base like the Hurrycane to accidentally step on and pull it apart while using (that was truly scary to see). I'll never get another foldable. Much prefer my plain offset handle cane. May try a Hugo quadpod one day.
Thank *you* for so vividly illustrating what could happen in a situation like that.
Very helpfull guys. I think I've found my choice. Thanks
I have MS and drop foot, and have been using crutches, IM wanting to get away from crutches and been thinking about a good quad cane. Thanks for the info on these two here,, also I was thinking about trying the large base as apposed to the regular smaller base....IM really lost on this whole subject to be honest lol...anywho, big thumbs up gentlemen!~John
I have dislocated my knee 4-5 times and I play high performance sports what should I do
No mention of the ball joint on the hurrycane
Just bought a Hurrycane. It doesn't pivot
Great informative video. You almost had me sold on a Hugo cane, until I realized the four pod base would not fit into the cane holder I have on my walker! The tip of my current cane sits in a circular holder and then the shaft clips on higher up. Disappointing. 🙁Maybe a cane manufacturer will come up with a holder that will accommodate the Hugo. In the meantime, I guess I'll continue to use my standard cane.
Just got the HUGO cane.....you are right..it was Wrapped in PLastic ...soo tightly...you Would think it was hazzard waste.Looking forward to using it...my Back has a Disc problem....and waiting 30 minutes for a Bus....is Torture..with No Benches
Thanks guys! Very helpful.
It falls over because the hand strap was cut off?
I got the ErgoCane, way superior to Hurricane and Hugo Cane, It cost a little more, I think I paid $45, but way more quality, durability,
I'm trying to do some research on which cane to get my grandma. She's just started using a walker. But theirs no Ergocane vids on youtube.
I just saw a UA-cam "As seen on TV' video of the Ergocane...just Google Ergocane ..it will pop up , good Luck !!
Betty.I I have used my hurry cane for years. The reason I came here was because it continuously falls over and the base is loose. I wanted to see if there was a way to tighten the base. According to this review I should contact the manufacturer and discontinue use? Now I am worried as I just had hip surgery and don't wish to fall. I just might look into the Hugo cane.
I appreciate the assistance since I am new to a quad cane, BUT perhaps there could be less chat, so it doesn’t take so long 😢
I come for the conversation too.
I like that the hurrycane swivels. But does any hurricane not fold? I also see where a lot of people had the hugo break at the cups on the bottom because of bending it too far forward. Are there any hurrycanes that don't fold? I suppose the parts could be glued together.
Husband cut my Hurrycane strap opening it today, also. :)
I'm 5'2" and am looking for one with a seat since I'll be having surgery on both ankles, one after the other. I do want to know about your glasses. Is there a magnet on the nose bridge? Where did you get them? Thanks.
I actually inherited 2 hugo canes from my in-laws with no instructions. I need to raise the handles but the little button won't go all the way in. I can not make it taller.
I tried the hurry cane and fell very easily because it bends at the bottom! Needless to say it landed in the garbage!
the pod on the bottom of my hugo cane broke apart and all rubber covering is worn away so now it slips on the floor with me. Thought I could just replace the pod but can't get the old one off. So guess I will have to buy a complete new cane. My previous hugo actually broke in half at the top where it curves after using it for awhile (don't remember how long)
Does the Cain with 4 rubber tips fold up?
Where are these canes manufactured??
Unfortunately their repartee reminded me of the Drennon Davis cats v. Funny
0:17 caption always says hurricane but is hurryCane
Can do your review on the go steady cane tripod tip?
Question: if I am 173 cm height. What is the height of my cane should be ?
Where and how to order the quads?
what differnt bewteen quadpod and hug claw cane
What the differnce between hugo quad tip and the Self-Standing 6 Support Feet?
I am in India/Vijayawada. I wanted to purchase. Can anybody share the details ?
I need to fold my cane but thanks for the review.
Then get the HurryCane..... and it does come with a wrist strap that acts as an elastic that wraps the cane up for traveling.
Man, they drug this out!
Yeah they Bill Cosby’d this
My wife bought one of the hurricanes. And what a piece of junk it is. The feet come off. after a few days that she used it. The problem is that the bottom is made of cheap plastic. Plastic is not what should have been used when making this cane. Aluminum would have been much better for the base and would have held up much better. Using Plastic for the base the screwes will come loose and the threads will get stripped and become unusable. Some form of lite metal would have been best. But these companies use cheap plastic. To cut costs. Don't buy this cane. It will end up hurting you. I can see the law shuts coming from this cane soon.
lmao these guys smh :)
Hello,
If you rewise this clip, probably you included third foot cane:
