A portable modified walking stick which provides the user with a visual cue to help initiate the first step. This cue is a spring loaded extension arm which extends in front of the user when downward pressure is exerted on the handle.
To use:
* Place the stick on the ground a short distance in front and to the side of the foot.
* Press down on the stick to extend the yellow pointer all the way to the ground. This is the visual cue.
* Release the pressure on the stick and the pointer will automatically retract.
* Carry the stick until another kickstart is required.
* To adapt to left or right handed use - depress the height buttons and turn the handle around so the yellow pointer is towards the centre as you hold the stick.
