Which hand should hold the cane? When using a cane, hold the cane in the hand opposite of the leg that needs support. For example, if you have an injured right knee, hold the cane with your left hand. When you place your right leg out, swing the cane out with the leg. When placing pressure on the right leg, also place pressure on the cane with the left hand. It's important that your cane is properly sized, and most canes can be easily adjusted to match your needs.
Cane Height. According to Clearcanes.com, approximate cane height is achieved by measuring the distance of your wrist--hanging loosely at your sides--to the floor. Fortunately, the cane shaft can be sawed off. So if you are not absolutely sure, or are a little wary of your measuring abilities, order a longer cane and saw it off to the proper height. The proper cane height should allow for you to walk while bending your arm at a 20 degree angle. More or less could throw off your balance, opening yourself up to injury. A step by step guide from Wise4living.com states that a cane user should put on his or her regular walking shoes prior to measuring.
