Selecting the right adjustable cane involves several considerations:
1. Height Adjustment: Ensure the cane can be adjusted to a height where the patient's elbow is slightly bent when holding the cane. 2. Weight Capacity: Check the cane's weight capacity to ensure it can support the patient's body weight. 3. Handle Type: Handles come in various designs such as T-handles, ergonomic grips, and offset handles. Choose one that provides comfort and reduces strain on the wrist. 4. Base Type: Some canes have a single tip, while others have a quad base for extra stability.
