What is the correct height at which to set the cane on a given person?
Great question! The correct height will allow the person's elbow to bend at around a 15-30 degree angle (depending on balance levels). To measure for the correct height:
- Put on your usual walking shoes and stand naturally upright.
- Let your arms fall to your sides with a natural, relaxed bend of the elbow of about 15 to 20 degrees. Bend your elbow slightly more (up to 30 degrees) if you will be using a cane for balance.
- Have your friend or family member measure the height from your wrist joint to the floor.
