What is an offset cane? An offset cane has a handle that is set forward (offset) from the shaft, rather than directly on top of it. This design positions the user's weight directly over the cane shaft, providing better balance, reducing wrist strain, and offering more stable support compared to a standard straight cane. 2. What is the difference between an offset cane and a standard straight cane? A standard straight cane has the handle directly above the shaft, which can place the wrist at an awkward angle and concentrate pressure on the palm. An offset cane's forward-positioned handle aligns the user's weight over the shaft more naturally, reducing wrist and hand fatigue and providing more stable support — making it the preferred choice for most daily users. 3. How do I adjust the height? The cane features a push-button height adjustment mechanism. Press the button on the shaft, slide to the desired height, and release — the button will lock the cane in place. The correct height is when your elbow is slightly bent (about 15–20 degrees) while holding the cane with your arm at your side. 4. What is the correct cane height for me? Stand upright in your normal shoes and let your arm hang naturally at your side. The top of the cane handle should reach your wrist crease. Your elbow should be slightly bent (15–20 degrees) when holding the cane. Our team at the showroom can help you set the correct height. 5. Which hand should I hold the cane in? Hold the cane in the hand opposite to your weaker or injured leg. For example, if your left leg is weaker, hold the cane in your right hand. This allows the cane to move forward with the weaker leg, providing support at the right moment in your gait cycle. 6. What is the weight capacity of this cane? Please contact Must to confirm the exact weight capacity for this model. Our team can help ensure this cane is the right fit for your needs. 7. What is the cane made of? The shaft is made from lightweight aluminum, making it easy to carry and maneuver throughout the day without adding unnecessary weight. 8. Is the grip comfortable for extended use? Yes. The foam grip is designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use, providing a comfortable, cushioned surface that is easy to hold. 9. Is the rubber tip non-slip? Yes. The rubber tip provides a non-slip grip on most floor surfaces including hardwood, tile, carpet, and pavement. Replace the tip when it shows signs of wear to maintain safe traction. 10. Can I use this cane outdoors? Yes. The non-slip rubber tip provides traction on sidewalks, pavement, and other outdoor surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or icy surfaces, and consider a replacement tip designed for outdoor use if needed. 11. Is this cane suitable after hip or knee replacement? Yes. Walking canes are commonly recommended following hip or knee replacement to provide balance and reduce weight-bearing on the recovering joint. Always follow your care provider's or physiotherapist's specific guidelines on cane use and which hand to hold it in. 12. Can a physiotherapist recommend this cane? Yes. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists frequently recommend offset canes as part of a rehabilitation or mobility assessment. Our team can provide documentation for insurance purposes if needed. 13. Is this covered by extended health insurance? Walking canes are generally low-cost items and may not be covered separately by extended health plans. However, some plans do cover mobility aids when recommended by a care provider. Must can provide a receipt for your records. 14. Do I need a prescription to purchase this? No prescription is required. You can purchase this cane directly from our showroom or order online with local delivery available across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. 15. How do I maintain this cane? Wipe down the shaft and handle with a damp cloth. Check the rubber tip regularly for wear and replace it when it becomes smooth or cracked. Inspect the push-button height adjustment periodically to ensure it locks securely. 16. Can I get replacement rubber tips for this cane? Yes. Replacement rubber cane tips are available. Contact Must to ask about compatible replacement tips for this model. 17. Is this cane available in other colours? This listing is for the Black version. Please contact Must to ask about other available colour options for this offset cane. 18. What is the difference between a cane and a quad cane? A standard offset cane has a single tip, while a quad cane has a four-point base that provides a wider, more stable base of support. Quad canes are recommended for users who need more stability than a single-tip cane provides. Contact Must if you're unsure which is right for you. 19. Can I try this cane before purchasing? Yes. Visit the Must showroom and our team can help you try the cane, set the correct height, and confirm it's the right fit for your needs. 20.
