ABSTRACT:
A walking aid such as a walking stick, crutch or walking frame comprises a body, a ground engaging member mounted at one end of the body, the body being movable relative to the ground engaging member, and a lever pivotably mounted on said ground engaging member, the body having means to actuate the lever so as to cause pivotal movement of the lever when the body moves relative to the ground engaging member. This pivotal movement of the lever can be utilized for retrieving objects on the ground, with the lever and ground engaging member acting as gripping members. A locking ring may be provided for preventing relative movement of the body and ground engaging member when the object retrieving facility is not required.
