Follow these simple instructions to find your cane length.


1. Stand comfortably erect with your hands at your sides, with your shoes on.

2. Using a tape measure, measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of your forearm/top of your wrist of whichever hand you wish to hold the cane with.

(You may need assistance with the measurement so as to avoid disrupting a comfortable posture.)

This height will allow for an ideal amount of bend in your arm while using a walking cane.

There are other methods of finding cane length, such as using a person’s height, but I don’t recommend it; it does not take the uniqueness of each person’s body proportions into consideration.

If you have any questions just reach out to me and I will do my best to try and help.
