Walking sticks and walkers are both devices that provide support and stability for individuals who have difficulty walking. However, they are designed for different purposes and have distinct features.

Walking stick or walker? 


Walking sticks, also known as canes, are typically used by individuals who have a temporary or minor mobility issue. They have a single point of contact with the ground and are held in the hand for support. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic. Some walking sticks also come with built-in features, such as a seat or a flashlight.


Canes for walking


Walkers, on the other hand, are designed for individuals who have a more serious mobility issue. They have multiple points of contact with the ground and are pushed along as the individual walks. They can come in different styles, such as a standard walker, a rollator walker (which has wheels), or a knee walker (which has a knee pad to rest the injured leg on).

Both walking sticks and walkers can provide support and stability, but they are designed for different levels of mobility needs. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine which device is best for an individual's specific needs.


Rollators or walkers


When it comes to design, walking sticks can be very fashionable and unique, like an Antique bronze Crown Walking Stick, with a handle made by our jeweler, and it is possible to add stones to make the crow's eyes more expressive and refined. There are also some that have a blade.

In conclusion, whether you are in need of a walking stick or a walker, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best option for your specific needs. With the right device, you can improve your mobility and maintain your independence.
