The shaft gives the support, not the handle. Without a rubber tip, the cane can slip. Worn tips should be replaced. Indicate on your order which method you used. If a longer cane than normal is required, please call for assistance.
Body weight suggests the cane's weight.
The size of the shaft and the strength of the material increases with body weight. Call for assistance. Humans walk with the opposite arm and leg moving in unison. So, use the stick in the hand opposite to the side needing support. Please call if time is important.
