Canes and Crutches
Steady support for every step.
Canes & Crutches
Whether recovering from an injury or seeking everyday stability, the right walking aid restores confidence with every step. HTKS Medical Supplies stocks quality canes and crutches designed for comfort, durability, and safe support – for temporary recovery or long-term use.
Canes vs. Crutches: Which Support Do You Need?
Canes
Ideal for mild balance support and light weight-bearing relief. Available as single-point canes for everyday stability and quad canes (four-point base) for maximum steadiness. Best for seniors and those with mild mobility or balance concerns.
Crutches
Designed to take significant weight off an injured leg during recovery from surgery, fractures, or sprains. Underarm (axillary) crutches suit short-term recovery, while forearm crutches offer better maneuverability for longer-term use.
Who needs one?
- Seniors seeking extra balance and stability
- Patients recovering from leg or foot injury and surgery
- People with arthritis or joint pain needing weight relief
- Those advised by a physiotherapist to use walking support
How to Choose?
- Correct height – elbow should bend slightly (about 15–20 degrees) at the grip
- Weight capacity and frame material (aluminium vs. steel)
- Grip comfort – foam, ergonomic, or offset handles
- Base type – single tip, quad base, or articulating tip
- Foldability and adjustability for travel and shared use
