Canes & Crutches
Single-point and quad canes, and underarm or forearm crutches, fitted to your height.
Quick answer
Global Dynamic Group, a veteran-built medical equipment company, offers the Canes & Crutches to TRICARE families across the western United States. TRICARE covers mobility aids as durable medical equipment when a TRICARE-authorized provider prescribes them. Call intake at 910-527-7081 and a person confirms coverage and availability with you before anything is ordered.
A cane takes some weight off a sore hip, knee or ankle and steadies each step. Crutches carry more of your weight, so a leg can rest after an injury or surgery. Quad canes stand on four small feet for extra stability, and forearm crutches suit people who use them every day.

Good to know
- Height matters — the handle should meet your wrist crease
