The Rigid Problem

Single point walking canes and quad canes can actually cause more pain, decrease mobility, and increase falls.

Single point walking canes don't provide much stability and are often the cause of additional pain in the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and back from the pressure applied to them and from the impact of the cane striking the ground surface. Single point canes do not stand up right when not being held and are constantly falling over from where they were leaned.

And, while fixed leg quad canes do stand upright, so does a table and walking with a quad cane can be like walking with a table. This creates a ‘wobbly’ feel and an unnatural gait and posture because they lack the ability to properly support the body's gait cycle and often leads to increased instability and falls - definitely not something you want in a walking cane.
