Choosing a cane that is at the correct height for a user is vital. If the cane is too short, it can cause the user to stoop over which will prove uncomfortable and may impact their balance. If the cane it too long, it can put unnecessary strain on the body and it will also mean that the user’s weight is not fully supported. To measure the correct height for your cane, follow these simple steps:   Step 1: Wear your regular outdoor shoes and stand on a flat surface with your hands by your side.   Step 2: Get someone else to measure the distance from your wrists down to the ground.   Step 3: This measurement should be the correct length cane that you should be looking for.
