cane

How should a cane be properly fitted?

Proper fitting of a cane is essential to ensure its effectiveness and prevent injury. The top of the cane should align with the crease of the wrist when the user stands upright with arms relaxed at the sides. This position allows for a slight bend in the elbow, promoting comfort and optimal support. Nurses should guide patients in adjusting the cane to the correct height and demonstrate the correct way to hold it.
