The Product is a Quad Cane for an Elderly person that uses a Standard quad cane base but it features a more ergonomic design that makes the base balanced better than standard quad canes. Think of how a table at a restaurant can have a slight wobble if one of the legs are off, most metal quad canes can have this same problem quite easily, because this base is plastic it controls the factors to a perfect degree to keep the 4 prong perfect so there is no possibility of one being slightly off causing a "wobble".
