YES!!! I can't believe I actually found the brochure! It is called the
"StepOver Wand" and may be ordered from
HurryCane Products,Inc.
16700 Bajio Ct
Encino, CA 91436
(818)789-9612
Fax : 629-491-0157
The invebntor and CEO of the company, Lisa Greenstadt, is herself a PWP.
I suggest you request a brochure, as prices may have changed, and there are
several different options, + the size goes by your height.
I should add that Peter has not found the wand part works for him---but
that may be resistance on his part, and he doesn't freeze badly now.
