What is a quad cane? A quad cane (also called a 4-point cane) has a base with four small feet instead of a single rubber tip. This provides a wider, more stable base of support than a standard cane, making it ideal for users who need greater balance assistance or who walk on uneven surfaces. 2. What is the difference between a large base and small base quad cane? A large base quad cane has a wider four-point base that provides maximum stability — best for outdoor use, uneven terrain, and users who need the most support. A small base quad cane has a narrower footprint that is easier to use indoors and in tight spaces. If you're unsure which is right for you, visit our showroom and our team can help. 3. What is the difference between a quad cane and a standard offset cane? A standard offset cane has a single rubber tip, while a quad cane has four tips providing a wider base of support. Quad canes are recommended for users who need more stability than a single-tip cane provides — particularly those with significant balance concerns or weakness on one side. 4. How do I adjust the height? The cane features a push-button height adjustment mechanism. Press the button on the shaft, slide to the desired height, and release — the button will lock the cane in place. The correct height is when your elbow is slightly bent (about 15–20 degrees) while holding the cane with your arm at your side. 5. What is the correct cane height for me? Stand upright in your normal shoes and let your arm hang naturally at your side. The top of the cane handle should reach your wrist crease. Your elbow should be slightly bent (15–20 degrees) when holding the cane. Our team at the showroom can help you set the correct height. 6. Which hand should I hold the cane in? Hold the cane in the hand opposite to your weaker or injured leg. For example, if your left leg is weaker, hold the cane in your right hand. This allows the cane to move forward with the weaker leg, providing support at the right moment in your gait cycle. 7. What is the weight capacity of this cane? Please contact Must to confirm the exact weight capacity for this model. Our team can help ensure this cane is the right fit for your needs. 8. What is the cane made of? The shaft is made from lightweight aluminum, making it easy to carry and maneuver throughout the day without adding unnecessary weight. 9. What is the offset handle and why is it beneficial? The offset handle is positioned forward of the shaft rather than directly above it, which aligns the user's weight more naturally over the cane. This reduces wrist strain and provides a more ergonomic grip compared to a straight handle. 10. Can I use this cane outdoors? Yes. The large four-point base is specifically designed for outdoor use and uneven terrain, providing greater stability on sidewalks, grass, gravel, and other surfaces. The non-slip rubber tips grip most outdoor surfaces safely. 11. Is this cane suitable after hip or knee replacement? Yes. Quad canes are commonly recommended following hip or knee replacement for users who need more stability than a standard cane provides. Always follow your care provider's or physiotherapist's specific guidelines on cane use and which hand to hold it in. 12. Can a physiotherapist recommend this cane? Yes. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists frequently recommend quad canes as part of a rehabilitation or mobility assessment, particularly for users with significant balance concerns. Our team can provide documentation for insurance purposes if needed. 13. Is this covered by extended health insurance? Walking canes are generally low-cost items and may not be covered separately by extended health plans. However, some plans do cover mobility aids when recommended by a care provider. Must can provide a receipt for your records. 14. Do I need a prescription to purchase this? No prescription is required. You can purchase this cane directly from our showroom or order online with local delivery available across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. 15. How do I maintain this cane? Wipe down the shaft and handle with a damp cloth. Check the rubber tips regularly for wear and replace them when they become smooth or cracked. Inspect the push-button height adjustment periodically to ensure it locks securely. 16. Can I get replacement rubber tips for this cane? Yes. Replacement rubber cane tips are available. Contact Must to ask about compatible replacement tips for this quad cane model. 17. Is this cane available in other colours? This listing is for the Black version. Please contact Must to ask about other available colour options for this quad cane. 18. Do you also carry a small base quad cane? Yes. We carry quad canes in both large base and small base versions. The small base is better suited for indoor use and tight spaces, while the large base provides maximum stability outdoors. Contact Must or visit our showroom to compare both options. 19. Can I try this cane before purchasing? Yes. Visit the Must showroom and our team can help you try the cane, set the correct height, and confirm it's the right fit for your needs. 20.
