Top Reasons to Choose a Quad Cane Walker Over Other Walkers for Adults

Independence and mobility are important to a safe and active lifestyle, particularly for older adults or those recovering from an injury or surgery. If you require a little support for walking, a quad cane walker is an option. The quad cane walker has stability, convenience and comfort to help you move with confidence, indoors or outdoors.

What Is a Quad Cane Walker?

A quad cane walker is equivalent to cross between a standard cane and a traditional walker. In contrast to a standard cane that has only one point of contact with the ground, quad canes have four feet or a four-point base arrangement for improved stability. This design provides better balance and stability without the hindrance of a full walker or rollator.quad cane walker

Adjustable Height: Most quad canes are adjustable to fit the user and to provide the proper ergonomic support for the device.

Cost Efficient: Quad canes are usually more affordable when compared to full walkers, or rollators, but the provide plenty of support.

Versatile Uses: Quad cane walkers can be used inside the home, and on level outdoor surfaces as well.

Need additional balance support but do not need a full walker

Are recovering from surgery, stroke, or injury

Need mild to moderate balance support

Want a device to support safe and easy mobility at home

How to Choose the Right Quad Cane Walker

In order to improve your riding experience, please think about the following:

Base Size: A small base will allow you to maneuver better in tight/narrow situations while a larger base will give you the most mechanical stability.
Height Adjustment: The cane height should allow for a slight bend in the elbow (~20-30degrees).
Weight: Aluminum is lighter than steel, aluminum can be strong, and steel will likely be more durable.
Non-Slip tips: Rubber tips to act against slipping.
Ergonomic Handle: Padded handles to help your hands not get fatigued.
Weight rating: to ensure that the cane is appropriate for your body weight.

Recommendations for Safe Use

Move the cane forward first, then the weak leg followed by the strong leg.

Frequently check the tips of the cane and replace tips as they get worn.

Use the cane on flat, stable surfaces when possible.

Use firm grip non-slip footwear in walking areas with adequate lighting.
