How to measure for a cane or walking stick

To determine the length of a cane without a cane available.

(It takes two people to "fit" a cane)

1. Put on your usual walking shoes.

2. Stand in your natural upright walking position

3. Let the arms hang to the sides naturally with a normal bend at the elbow. (NOTE: do not force the arm down completely straight.)

4. Using a tape measure or yard stick, have the second person measure the distance from the wrist joint down to the floor.

PLEASE REMEMBER, MY CANES CAN BE SHORTENED BUT THEY CANNOT BE LENGTHENED.
