which hand do you use with a cane
Which hand should hold the cane? When using a cane, hold the cane in the hand opposite of the leg that needs support. For example, if you have an injured right knee, hold the cane with your left hand. When you place your right leg out, swing the cane out with the leg. When placing pressure on the right leg, also place pressure on the cane with the left hand. It's important that your cane is properly sized, and most canes can be easily adjusted to match your needs.
