The ideal cane length depends on your height, walking speed, environment, personal preference, and also stock availability. As a general guideline:
| Your Height | Recommended Cane Length |
|---|---|
| 145–155 cm (4’9″–5’1″) | 119 cm (47″) |
| 155–165 cm (5’1″–5’5″) | 127 cm (50″) |
| 165–175 cm (5’5″–5’9″) | 137 cm (54″) |
| 175–185 cm (5’9″–6’1″) | 150 cm (59″) |
| 185–195 cm (6’1″–6’5″) | 157 cm (62″) |
| 195 cm+ (6’5″+) | 163 cm (64″) |
For Fast Walkers and Independence:
– If you’re a fast walker who values independence, choose a cane length at chin level (between your shoulder and nose) or at nose level for outdoor use.
– However, in a crowded and fast-paced city, a longer cane may pose safety risks.
For Crowded Cities:
– In a crowded city, it’s safer to choose a cane length at the sternum (4 fingers above where the rib cage meets).
– A longer cane is generally more useful for identifying ground obstacles and allows for faster walking. However, it may be heavier.
Choose the size that best suits your needs and environment.
Please note that the cane size options may differ between different countries and warehouses.
We hope this helps you select the right cane size for your mobility needs!
