Best Answer

A quad cane offers more stability because the area of contact on the walking surface is greater. The contact area with a basic cane is minimal and is not intended for the support offered by a quad cane. There are different types of quad canes, each with a different size contact area. Your physician, physical therapist or medical supply professional can help you determine which style is best for your particular needs. Make sure you have ample instruction on how to use the quad cane.
