The Effect of Adjustable Walking Aids on Balance

Walking sticks are devices used by people who have difficulty in walking. They are very useful to those who have had a temporary injury or wound and find it difficult to walk on their own or by those who have had a permanent disability and need a support at all times. They are also preferred by a lot of elders who find it reassuring to walk with the help of a walking stick. There are several models available including the simple single cane, foldable sticks, 3 legged or tripod sticks, 4 legged or quadripod sticks, sticks with a seat attached etc. A wider base ensures better stability. The weight of the person is evenly distributed throughout the four legs. This will perfectly balance the person‘s steps giving greater support when compared to other models.

Choosing A Cane And Using It Properly

Walking canes may be classified as one of the earliest Aids For Mobility. Yet, the look of these centuries old walking aids has evolved significantly from their appearance as medical apparatus. An aluminum, medical cane with single or quad footing or a beautiful, decorative cane that offers style, colors and stability, the handle should be an important consideration in the selection process.
