There are many different types of elderly mobility aid, all offering different levels of support. For those that only need a modest level of support, a walking cane or stick is a good option.
If exercise tolerance is also limited there are products available that combine a seat with a walking cane. They are not suitable for sitting on for extended periods of time but they provide the reassurance of being able to have a rest anywhere, any time.
A walking cane with seat can give someone the confidence to explore unfamiliar places knowing a rest is there if they need it.
