Abstract

An elongated walking assistance device includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and an adjustable system which couples the upper and lower portions. The lower portion includes a shock absorbing system attached to a surface contact heel. The adjustable system includes a threaded rod which extends from the upper portion along a longitudinal axis, a pushbutton assembly surrounding the threaded rod, and a tubular shaft capturing the pushbutton assembly. For fine adjustments, the user may rotate the threaded rod with respect to the tubular shaft to adjust the overall length of the device. For coarse adjustments, the user may disengage the pushbutton and slide the tubular shaft along the longitudinal axis.
