Walking Canes

What are Walking Canes?


A walking cane or a walking stick is a type of walking aid used by patients to support them when moving around and standing while reducing the weight load from their lower limbs. These devices offer moderate stability assistance and are prescribed to patients who are injured, mobility impaired, disabled, or have undergone surgery. There are several types of walking canes, including the standard or single point, quad, tripod, bariatric, seat, probing, supporting, folding, and strongarm comfort cane. Walking canes also have various materials and handle options, depending on the patient’s preferences. Our walking cane store at Kearney Park Compounding Pharmacy carries a wide catalog of industry-standard walking canes with different handles and materials, letting you choose the best aid for your needs.

Benefits of a Walking Cane


  • Improved Mobility – Using walking canes greatly improves the mobility of patients despite their impairments. The improved balance that this device provides lets them freely move around, do everyday tasks, and socialize without the need for assistance from others.


  • Pain Management – The load that walking canes take away from the lower limbs greatly reduces the pain and muscle fatigue that patients experience while walking and standing.


  • Injury Prevention – Being able to sit, stand, and walk safely with the assistance and stability that walking canes provide also decreases the patient’s risk of sustaining any type of injury due to falling.


  • Improved Sensory Feedback – White canes, like the supporting and probing canes, are used as a tool by visually impaired users to better identify the impediments and objects in their path, which adds an extra layer of safety while walking.


  • Retained Independence – Walking and standing on their own with the aid of walking canes give users a better sense of independence. This improves their overall mental well-being as it encourages them to stay physically active while also boosting their self-confidence and self-esteem.
