Is your walking stick the right length? How to choose the right length

To use a walking stick comfortably, it is important to know the appropriate length.

Guidelines for the appropriate length of a walking stick

[Height ÷ 2 + 3cm]

For example, if you are 160cm tall, the appropriate walking stick length is approximately 83cm.

The appropriate length of the cane is considered to be when the rubber tip is placed about 20 cm forward and outward from the toes, and the elbow is bent at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees.

Please note that there will be individual differences depending on posture, heel height, arm length, body shape, etc., so please consider this as a guideline only.

If you would like advice on the best length for you, please feel free to visit your nearest KINDCARE store.

To ensure safe and comfortable walking, please adjust your walking stick to a length that suits you.
