" You're right, Liz. Your insight into designing WITH instead of FOR the disabled community does give us designers a sense of relief. Thank you for blazing a trail and educating us along the way!"

" We appreciate the great feedback, David! Thanks for weighing in. The grip's radius was an initial concern of ours as well. However, the thickness and large radius of the handle distributes the weight on the user's hand quite nicely. The more we test, the more we'll learn.That's good insight on the self-standing canes catching as well. We'll have to make sure that our foot doesn't interfere."

" Thanks for the feedback, Blaine! Our grip is actually designed to put less strain on the wrist than typical T-shaped handles because it aligns the wrist in a straight, neutral position over the shaft. We've tested initial mock-ups and found them to be quite comfortable, but of course the more testing the better! "

" Good question, Philip! The shaft is available in 3 sizes so at the time of purchase you would choose the one that fits your height."

" Yes, Dieter's cane is beautiful! It was designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1958."

Knack is proud to be a sponsor of such a powerful event, focused on educating and energizing designers. Big thanks to you, Hector and the whole Advance Design Sketching team for all of your hard work making this a reality."
