ProBasics Large Base Quad Cane

The ProBasics Large Base Quad Cane is Compass Health Brands item CNQLB: a black four-point cane with a large base, an offset vinyl handle that rotates for left or right hand use, and a 300 lb rating. Compass prints a 29 to 38 in height band in 1 in push-button steps, a 2.7 lb cane, and 3/4 in non-skid tips. Westin Healthcare sells the single cane and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

Compass sells CNQLB and CNQSB as two articles. This card is the large base. The small base is a different SKU.

Who this cane is for

CNQLB is for a person who wants a four-point large base, stays at or under Compass's 300 lb rating, and fits the 29 to 38 in handle height. Families here usually call when a single-tip cane feels light and a small quad base still feels narrow.

Compass writes that the large base provides more stability and the small base allows easier maneuverability. That is Compass's sentence. Westin does not give medical advice.

• Large four-point base, black, offset vinyl handle
• 29 to 38 in, 2.7 lb, 300 lb rating
• Handle rotates for left or right hand use

Fit and height

Compass prints handle height 29 to 38 in in 1 in push-button steps, with a locking anti-rattle ring.

Stand upright in the shoes you will walk in, with your arms relaxed. Set the handle at your wrist crease so your elbow stays slightly bent when you hold on. Come into a Brampton or Toronto store if you want that height checked on the floor.

Handle, base, and tips

The handle is offset, contoured vinyl with a sculpted grip. Compass prints that it rotates for left or right hand use and that the change is tool-free. The upper shaft is aluminum. The base is welded steel.

The base is a large four-point plate with non-skid 3/4 in rubber tips. Compass prints that the cane stands up on its own when not in use. This is not a claw tip and not a MiniQuad. The Hugo Ergonomic Derby Handle Cane with Claw Tip is a single shaft with a three-point claw, a different article.

Funding help for a cane or crutches in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund standard canes or crutches, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), extended health plans, and community programs. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
