Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03061547A1] Conventional walking sticks which are currently marketed are always being dropped. Apart from the inconvenience of spending the day picking said walking sticks up, the patient is put at risk in trying to make do without them. Provided with more than eighty new elements, the novel version of the walking stick permits the patient to instantly find the solution to his problem whatever the circumstance, to always manage with the walking stick and thus avoid injury. The above modifications can be applied to any type of walking stick and comprise: 1] Generation of a large number of planar facets, staggered along the longitudinal axes (E, H, F, C) and distributed all around the elbow support (Q, W, N). 2] Arrangement of said facets in a succession of small steps (0). 3] Generation of eight large steps of 10mm to 15mm of the type of a reverse step (J, R). 4] Generation of an anterior square edge over several centimetres at the height of the lateral faces of the elbow support (ab). 5] Generation of three crowned surfaces (Y, Z) with grooves (I), at the height of the lateral surfaces of the elbow support and two virtual crowned surfaces (Q bis). 6] Generation of two points (A) and (B) at the level of the lower edge of the elbow support. 7] Generation of a discrete hook to each side at the level of the lower edge of the elbow support (D). Said walking stick is envisaged as an aid to locomotion, which up to now has only been partly fulfilled. The novel version permits the above to be fully met, saves trouble for patients and saves health service fees.
