Quad cane crutch stick

A quad cane is a mobility device that aids walking and mobility. It is similar to a standard cane but has a metal base on the bottom with four tiny feet extending from the ground. These feet have rubber caps that help reduce slippage on the floor. Quad canes are usually lightweight aluminium and adjustable with a small push button.

Occasionally, one or both of your legs may weaken after illness or injury. This weakness may prevent you from walking normally. An extended period of immobilization or bed rest may lead to changes in your balance. A quad cane helps provide extra support to allow you to walk independently and safely.

An advantage of a quad cane is that it provides good stability. Quad canes can also be used on stairs, unlike a standard or wheeled walker. While sitting, a quad cane can stand next to you and will not fall over. When rising from sitting, be sure not to use the quad cane to pull yourself out of the chair, as it may tip over. Stand up first, and then grab the handle.

Walking With a Quad Cane

To walk with a quad cane, follow these simple steps.

1. Hold the cane in one hand. If one leg is weak, hold the club in hand opposite the weak leg.
2. Advance the quad cane forward about one arm’s length. Be sure all four legs of the quad cane contact the floor to prevent tipping.
3. Step forward with the weak leg.
4. Gently press down on the handle of the quad cane with your hand to help with stability. Advance your other leg just slightly past to first foot.
5. Repeat this cycle.
