Canes

Canes are versatile mobility aids that offer balance, stability, and support for older adults with mild leg or trunk weakness. They provide relief from pain, assist with injury recovery, and promote greater independence, enabling users to move more confidently. Canes help prevent falls by distributing weight and reducing pressure on the lower body. Specialized probing canes also provide sensory feedback for safe navigation, especially for those with low vision. Whether physician-recommended or independently purchased, proper cane use is key to maximizing its benefits and ensuring safety.
