This NRS Healthcare Tetrapod Walking Stick L29324 - with Small 4 Leg Base has multiple legs and feet, which offers the user more stability when walking than a traditional standard walking stick with only one foot. Tetrapods offer increased levels of support and security when walking outdoors or indoors, but please note that they should not be used on stairs. This Tetrapod version has a Small 4 Leg Base which means that the stick section is positioned in line with 2 of the legs, which makes the stick easier to use when walking as the user can simply step through without catching their foot in the stick. Just hold the stick with the flat part next to your side when using. The handle tapers towards the front to give a good grip and prevent slipping, and the legs are fitted with high quality ferrule feet which gives extra stability.
