House's Cane

Item from House M.D. by David Shore

The walking cane that House needs for his damaged leg and wields like an extension of his personality — part medical necessity, part prop, part weapon.

Also known as: The Cane, Flame Cane, Walking Stick

What They Know

• Medical necessity due to chronic pain and muscle loss in House's right leg from the infarction — he cannot walk unaided for more than a few steps
• The flame cane was purchased by Wilson after House's previous cane was destroyed — it became the show's most iconic prop
• House has gone through at least six canes over the series — the flame cane is the sixth and most famous
• Used as a pointer, a weapon, a prop for dramatic emphasis, and occasionally its intended purpose of walking support
