From a rehabilitation point of view, we want to maximize the mobile function of a client. This means, for example, if the client can stand-up, we don\u2019t want them to remain seated all day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some clients don\u2019t have access to these kinds of resources so it is our job to try and determine the user&#8217;s abilities and needs. Go through the following steps to find your best mobility device.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #2d82cc;\"><strong>1. Who Benefits from a Walking Stick?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The walking stick is good for giving the user better balance so that they can transfer weight from one leg to another without the fear of losing their balance. For example, elderly with weak knee or patients recovering from surgery.\u00a0 By using a walking stick ON THE STRONGER SIDE of the body, it can relieve pressure off of the injured side as well assist balance and mobility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>There are three main walking stick types:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><b>Single Tip<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The most common option that is light and aids easier movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><b>Quad Cane<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">:<\/span> The Quad Cane is designed to add more support to the user. The larger base provides more support, reducing the risk of slips and falls. Stroke patients often opt for this cane however the base is bulkier than the single tip and therefore more awkward to navigate.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><b>Forearm Canes<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">:<\/span> The Forearm canes assist predominantly users who have problems transferring weight on their legs but have strong-arm strength.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #2d82cc;\">2.
