ABSTRACT:
There is provided a modular walking support system separable into two independently functioning walking supports, typically cane-like structures. Fastening elements hold the two walking supports together in a unitary walking support until two independent supports may be required by a user. The two sections may be manually separated or, optionally, a force augmenting mechanism may also be provided to facilitate separation by users having very little hand strength. The tip of the walking support remains in firm contact with the ground during both separation and reunification operation thereby providing continuous support to a user of the device. A variety of interchangeable handles, shaft portions, and tips are provided. In addition, many accessories may be provided, either within the structure or as add-on devices. The modular walking support is provided in colors, with decorations, etc. to help overcome the stigma perceived by some users arising from usage of such a device.
