 Whether
you are buying a cane for yourself or for someone else, the cane
handle is one of the most important things to take into consideration.
While it may seem that the handle is one of the least concerns,
it is really one of the most important.
The most popular styles of cane handle are the derby
handle,
fritz handle, crook
handle, palm
grip handle,
ball handle, and the
anatomically correct handle.
If cane handles aren’t comfortable, the purpose can be defeated.
If the weight doesn’t sit right on the cane, it can even pose
a walking hazard when it should be helping. If your cane handles
are too big or don’t fit your hand properly, it becomes quite
difficult to get as much use out of your cane as possible. You may
find yourself struggling to use the cane, or dreading using it because
it hinders your walk more than it helps. For this reason, it is
important to use a cane that has the proper handle for you.
When buying a cane, if the handle is made with spaces for fingers,
you will want to be sure that it is made for the side you need.
Otherwise, you could find yourself using cane handles that that
feel uncomfortable or even painful when used. There are many canes
that will work equally as well on either hand and this is often
a good choice, especially if you will be buying the cane for someone
else. As you can see, cane handles are a very important part of
the cane and its use. Getting the most use out of a cane is easiest
accomplished when you have the proper cane handle. Once you have
found the type of cane handle that work best for you, you can then
decide which cane style you like best.
Ask you health care professional for advice if you are not sure
which is the correct handle for you.
