A Cane For Stability

A Cane For Stability

Balance and mobility issues can arise for a bevy of different reasons. For some it is from a neurological condition, others it may be a joint issue or just related to age. At some point and for some reason the issue of stability can hinder ones ability to be independent and therefore become more dependent on someone else. A fall can scare seniors and family members into looking at mobility aids. One of the most common choices for mobility aids is a cane.

It’s important for seniors to select the cane that is best suited to their needs. While some people need a can only when they go outside of their home others may find that it is important for them to use a stability device inside their home as well. From weight, durability or device strength, several factors must be considered when choosing which cane is right for you.

 

Is A Cane For You

Simple yet effective, canes are the most mobile and least intrusive walking device. They are best suited for those with mild to moderate balance issues. The different styles of canes include your traditional curved handle cane, vertical grip cane, and the tripod/quad canes. If a person feels a little off balance when walking a cane may be the answer.

Advantages of using a cane include the fact that they are lightweight and easy to use in small or crowded spaces. They are generally the least expensive and most portable mobility aids. However, canes can’t support much of the body’s weight and really provides support to someone that can mostly walk on their own. Canes can also cause someone’s hand or wrist to hurt on one side.
