Why Support Matters Before and After Surgery
Preparing for or recovering from hip or knee surgery can mark a major turning point. Each step matters—rebuilding strength and balance, easing stress on healing joints, and restoring confidence in daily movement. Evidence-based Activator® Poles support pre-op preparation, post-op rehabilitation, and ongoing mobility management.
Rehab-Focused Design
Unlike standard walking poles, Activator® Poles are designed for rehabilitation. Created by an occupational therapist, they feature comfortable CoreGrip™ handles, wide bell-shaped tips for added stability, and a secure button-locking system that helps transfer weight from the hips and knees to the upper body, making walking easier. By shifting weight away from painful or healing joints, this support may reduce pressure by 30% or more, making walking feel easier before surgery and more manageable during recovery.
Supporting Pre-Op & Rebuilding Safe Movement Post-Op
Before surgery, Activator® Poles may help people stay active while managing pain, stiffness, or reduced confidence. They may also support circulation, posture, muscle activation, and overall conditioning.
After surgery, Activator® Poles can promote a more upright posture, balanced stride, and steadier rhythm while helping patients feel more confident as they move from clinical rehab back to daily life. Please consult your healthcare provider before switching from a cane or walker to poles.
Experiencing is Believing

Arthritis-Friendly Movement
For people living with arthritis, the benefits may be equally meaningful. Pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced grip strength, and fear of falling can make everyday movement more difficult.
Activator® Poles may help reduce pressure on the back, hips, and lower joints while improving balance. Their ergonomic CoreGrip™ handles keep the wrist more comfortable while the wide ledge contracts your core muscles each time you press down. Straps on hiking poles may increase the risk of injury which is why Activator® Poles where designed strapless.
Ease of Use Approval
Activator® Poles are Ease of Use Approved by the Arthritis Foundation. This recognition is given to products independently evaluated for helping people with arthritis or physical limitations complete everyday tasks more easily.
A Guided Part of Recovery
Whether preparing for surgery, recovering from a hip or knee replacement, or managing arthritis, Activator® Poles may support a comprehensive recovery plan when used with healthcare professional guidance. They may help make walking a more confident, comfortable, and restorative part of healing. The road to recovery may feel challenging, but Activator® Poles can help support you every step of the way!
