The Story Behind Aligned As Designed
Frustrated with existing canes, Linda decided to use her knowledge to build a better one.
"On January 15th of 2013 an SUV crashed into the driver's side door of my car. Over the next two years I would undergo hand, shoulder and hamstring surgery as well as five procedures and eight long post-op and post-procedure periods. I was continually told after the accident that I had unreasonable and unrealistic expectations in regard to my long-term prognosis. What almost everyone including my physicians didn't understand was that I didn't believe, nor did I expect my surgeries and PT to return my broken, twisted, disabled body to the way it was before the accident. I expected my surgeries and PT to give me an opportunity. Winston Churchill said, "A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. An optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty."

Inventing a better cane
More than just another cane, the 3rd Foot Cane has been developed to support the complex biological movement machine – the human body.
The human body is a biological movement machine designed to maintain a centralized center of gravity inside its base of support (hereinafter "BOS"). Skeletal bones of the body form the framework, while skeletal muscles move the framework. Tendons found at the ends of skeletal muscles attach the skeletal muscles to the skeletal bones and help maintain the postural alignment of the body. Ligaments attach bone to bone, and have a limited amount of flexibility in order to maintain the attachment of the skeletal bones in the framework.
The Science behind the Cane
Over time, repetitive movement that doesn't maintain the body's center of gravity over its base can result in physical and functional disability.
