The cane is a technical aid for mobility. It serves to facilitate walking, increasing stability, and reducing fatigue or burden. The use of the cane allows the user to maintain independence when moving and enables the person to live a good, active and dynamic lifestyle.
For the cane to fulfil its purpose, it is necessary to use it correctly. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the following:
- The grip on the handle of the cane must be adequate. The user must feel comfort and security in the support of the hand, choosing the handle that best suits their needs.
- The measurement should extend from the wrist to the floor in a vertical position. In other words, the optimal height is the height from the greater trochanter to the ground.
In addition, we must check the condition of the support point frequently, since once the rubber ferrule begins to wear out, the risk of falling increases and the cane loses grip and, therefore, stability.
