If you are not too familiar with canes, it can look like there are only one or two types. But there are at least five different types of canes on the market.

Each has its function, tailored to suit individuals with varying needs and different injuries or medical conditions.

Walking canes are challenging to put away and often fall to the floor, as most canes cannot stand by themselves.

To prevent your cane from falling over, we have the perfect solution: a cane holder.

The cane holder enables you to hang your cane from a table or counter.

Canes are usually height-adjustable, but if not, you can estimate the height by dividing your height by two, so 76-inch tall should order a 38-inch cane.

When using a cane, your elbow should bend around 15-20 degrees.

The proper height of your cane is essential, as incorrect length can cause discomfort.

If you are looking to buy a cane that your doctor has prescribed, a medical store may be a good place.

The best place is online if you are on for a large selection, price comparisons, and a good bargain.

There are many places to purchase walking canes – no wonder, as so many elderly need mobility aids.

A cane improves your balance and helps you compensate for an injury or disability. A sturdy cane can literally put you back on your feet.

Which cane is best suited to your needs? I’ve been scouting the market, reading the manuals and reviews, and picked the selection of 11 top canes for stability, safety, and style this year.

As you age, you tend to gain weight, so you need a walking cane that supports your mobility regardless of your size.

If the standard cane is insufficient for you, consider a bariatric cane.

Bariatric canes are the most supportive, which means that they typically are bigger, taller, and heavier and can hold more weight.
