What is Cane Length?

A cane length refers to the appropriate measurement of a walking cane that ensures optimal support and comfort for the user. It is typically determined by measuring the distance from the user’s wrist joint down to the floor, while the user is standing upright with their arms resting naturally at their sides. The correct cane length helps maintain good posture, balance, and mobility.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ CL = 70 \times 0.5 = 35 \text{ inches} \]

The Cane Length is 35 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ CL = 64 \times 0.5 = 32 \text{ inches} \]

The Cane Length is 32 inches.
