Fit guidanceHow to choose a walking aid
What walking aid do I need?
A walking stick suits light support on one side. A quad cane adds a wider base. A walking frame offers stable four-point support, often indoors. A rollator adds wheels, brakes and a seat for longer smooth routes. Crutches support more of your weight when a clinician recommends them after injury or surgery.
| Situation | Often considered | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General balance support | Walking stick or quad cane | Start with capacity and height |
| One weak leg | Stick on the stronger side, or frame if advised | Follow clinician guidance |
| After knee surgery | Crutches or frame | See knee surgery page |
| After hip replacement | Frame or crutches | See hip page |
| Broken leg or ankle | Underarm or elbow crutches | See broken leg page |
| Older adult, outdoor walks | Rollator with seat | Practise brakes before sitting |
| Higher body weight | Heavy-duty frame or rollator | See heavy-duty range |
What height walking stick do I need?
Stand upright in your usual shoes with arms relaxed at your sides. The top of the handle should sit near your wrist crease. Your elbow should bend slightly when you hold the grip. Adjustable sticks make fine-tuning easier.
| User height | Typical stick length band |
|---|---|
| About 150–160 cm | About 74–84 cm |
| About 160–170 cm | About 82–90 cm |
| About 170–180 cm | About 88–96 cm |
| About 180–190 cm | About 94–100 cm |

How to size crutches
For elbow crutches, set the hand grip near wrist height and the cuff just below the elbow. For underarm crutches, set hand grips first, then ensure underarm pads sit about two fingers below the armpits so weight goes through the hands, not the armpits.
