Using a Cane
Walking with a Cane
1. Adjust the cane length so that when you are standing, the
handle of the cane is at the level of your wrist.
2. Hold the cane on the side of your good leg unless your
physical therapist has told you otherwise.
3. Begin by stepping forward with your injured or
weak leg and cane, keeping the two in line with each
other.
4. Step forward with your good leg, bringing it ahead of your
injured or weak leg and cane.
