When a cane is
to be used as a mobility aid, we recommend
that the purchaser be advised to have the
cane properly sized by a health care professional.
If the user does not have a therapist and
wishes to size it on their own, please see
the following:
- Remove
the rubber tip from the cane. If it is
tight...a squirt of WD-40 works wonders;
twist the tip off rather than pulling.
- It
takes two people to "fit" a cane. The
cane user should be wearing their usual
walking shoes and standing as naturally
upright as possible. Their arms should
hang at their side with a normal bend
at the elbow.
- The
second person places the cane with the
handle on the ground on the side the person
will be using the cane. The shaft is marked
where it touches the middle crease of
the user’s wrist. The cane should
then be cut using a sharp saw and mitre
box for an even cut. Reattach rubber
tip.
