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

                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.
