The Right Cane, Set to the Right Height — OT-Approved A single point cane is one of the most prescribed mobility aids in occupational therapy — and one of the most commonly misused. As OT practitioners who fit canes at kitchen tables every week, we built this listing to help you get it right the first time. Who This Cane Is For Adults with mild to moderate balance changes from aging, neuropathy, or a healed hip or knee injury Anyone who needs one steady point of contact while walking indoors or outdoors People recovering from surgery who are transitioning off a walker Those who want extra stability on uneven terrain, stairs, or slippery surfaces Need more support? If you weigh over 250 lbs, see our Bariatric Single Point Cane. If your cane tips over when you let go, a Quad Cane may be a better fit. How to Set the Correct Cane Height Stand upright with your arms relaxed at your sides. The handle should line up with your wrist crease — this gives you a 15–20° elbow bend when gripping, which is the clinically recommended position for optimal load transfer and comfort. This cane adjusts from 29 to 38 inches to fit most adults.
