Choosing the right quad cane involves considering several factors:
Weight capacity: Ensure the cane can support the patient's weight. Base size: Larger bases offer more stability but can be cumbersome. Smaller bases are easier to maneuver. Handle type: Choose between foam, gel, or ergonomic handles for comfort. Adjustability: Ensure the cane can be adjusted to the correct height.
Nurses often assist in selecting the appropriate quad cane based on the patient's specific needs and preferences.
