Proper use of a quad cane is crucial for ensuring safety and effectiveness. Here are the steps:
Hold the cane in the hand opposite to the weaker leg. Move the cane and the weaker leg forward at the same time. Ensure all four prongs of the cane are in contact with the ground before taking another step. Follow with the stronger leg, stepping past the cane.
Nurses should provide training and supervision to ensure patients use the quad cane correctly.
