Arthritis Foundation Ease of Use Certified

ACTIVATOR® Walking Poles are certified by the Arthritis Foundation as an Ease of Use product. This certification recognizes products designed to make everyday tasks easier for individuals living with arthritis or joint pain. The ACTIVATOR® design supports improved mobility, comfort, and confidence during walking.

Why ACTIVATOR® Poles Are Different

  • Strapless support: uses a wide ledge (instead of a wrist strap) for safer, more comfortable support.
  • CoreGrip™ design: ergonomic grip intended to reduce wrist strain while supporting balance and off-loading.
  • Stable tips: bell-shaped tips designed to improve stability on typical walking surfaces.
  • Reduced vibration: built-in anti-vibration features to minimize stress on joints.

Who These Poles Are For

These poles are commonly chosen by people who want extra confidence and support while walking — including those working on balance, posture, or walking endurance. They may also be used as part of a rehab plan when recommended by a healthcare professional.
