Walking confidence and safety is crucial for our independence and our ability to continue our lives with full participation. If you feel your may need a walking aid to fgive you extra support, please contact a physiotherapist for assessment. The decision for the use of a walking aid should be made by a professional in order to determine the reason for the change in walking ability. A walking aid that is inappropriately given may result in further deterioration of strength and balance. Also, good advice and some well chosen exercises may alleviate the need for a walking aid. Contact a physio for a walking and balance assessment if you feel the need to use a walking aid
