Zusammenfassung:	A patient support device, particularly a cane (A), includes a fifth leg (90) that extends outwardly from a central portion of a base assembly (D) at a region intermediate first (56), second (58), third (60), and fourth (62) legs. The fifth leg (90) provides increased balance and stability for the user. Moreover, the base assembly (D) includes a one-piece member (50) constructed from a moulded plastics composite material to reduce manufacturing costs. The fifth leg (90) can be slightly recessed relative to the remaining four legs (56 to 62) so that the patient's weight is evenly distributed to the perimeter of the support area defined by the base member (50).
