The function of mobility aids is to assist you in moving about safely and comfortably while allowing the more able parts of your body to get the strengthening exercise they need. With that thought in mind, canes and walkers offer varying levels of assistance. So, if pain and weakness on one side of your body make it difficult to walk or keep balanced, a product like the Driver Offset Handle Aluminum Cane is your best choice. However, if you are unstable on your feet, a walker is the better choice.
