This deluxe quad cane is a single point walking stick replaced by a four footed base, so it stands on its own and gives a wider area of floor contact than a standard stick. The large base measures 280 x 170 mm. The handle rotates so the same cane can be set for the left or right hand, and the height adjusts from 760 to 980 mm in 25 mm increments.
The aluminium frame weighs 800 g and carries a user weight of up to 113 kg. The four 16 mm rubber ferrules are replaceable.

Who it suits
A client who needs more lateral stability than a single point stick, such as after a stroke with one-sided weakness, and who can lift and place the base squarely with each step. The large base gives more support but is heavier to swing and can catch on steps and kerbs, so a client who walks mostly outdoors or on stairs may do better with a small base quad cane. If the client cannot lift the stick cleanly, a walking frame is the safer option.
Good to know
- Supplied assembled; set the height so the handle sits at the wrist crease with the arm relaxed
- All four ferrules must contact the floor; teach the client to place the base flat
- Replacement ferrules available
