Mobility equipment

Canes

Canes are mobility aids designed to provide additional balance, stability, and support while walking. They are commonly used by individuals experiencing mild mobility difficulties, weakness, or balance challenges.

Canes can help individuals maintain confidence and independence while moving around their homes or communities.

Available types

  • Standard Cane

    Provides basic walking support and improves balance during daily movement.

  • Quad Cane

    Features a four-point base for additional stability and support.

  • Adjustable Cane

    Allows users to customize the cane's height for a more comfortable and appropriate fit.

Finding a comfortable fit

  • Handle and height

    The handle shape and the height of a cane affect how comfortably it can be held.

  • The elbow check

    A properly fitted cane allows a slight bend at the elbow.

  • Ask a professional

    A physical therapist can help compare single-tip and quad-base designs and determine whether a cane provides enough support for the way you walk.

Everyday use and care

  • Check the tips

    Check the rubber tip or tips for wear and replace them when needed.

  • Clear the path

    Keep walking routes clear of loose rugs, cords and clutter.

  • Wear nonslip footwear

    Choose footwear with a nonslip sole.

  • Practice with your care team

    Learning how to turn, sit and navigate steps with your care team can make a new walking aid easier to use.
