The walking stick is a technical aid for mobility. It serves to facilitate walking, increasing stability and reducing fatigue or burden when walking on the lower extremities, as it allows the weight to be offloaded from the affected leg. The use of a walking stick allows the user to maintain independence when moving and enables the user to live a good, dynamic and active lifestyle. 

For the walking stick to fulfil its purpose, it is necessary to use it in the correct manner. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the following:

• The grip on the handle of the walking stick must be adequate. The user must feel comfort and security in the support of the hand, choosing the handle that best suits their needs.
• The measurement should extend from the wrist to the floor in a vertical position. In other words, the optimal height is the height from the greater trochanter to the ground.

In addition, we must check the condition of the support point frequently, since once the rubber (ferrule) begins to wear out, the risk of falling increases and the walking stick loses grip and, therefore, stability.
