*Your best choice is to have your physician or physical therapist help fit your daily-use cane. If no professional help is available, these instructions will assist you in creating a comfortable fit.

1) Buy a Stylish Cane from http://www.canescanada.com (CanesCanada.com)

2) Put your normal walking shoes on. ***PLEASE do not use high heel shoes when walking with a cane unless your physician states that you can.

3) Have another person help you, and make sure you are on solid ground. * not carpet but hard wood, concrete or tile. Hard solid ground.

4) With your arms at your sides, stand erect and have the other person place the cane upside down next to the side of the body on which you will be using the cane. In most cases, the cane is placed on the side opposite to your injury. Please consult your physician if you are unsure.

5) Bend your elbow about 15 degrees and have th other person mark the cane in the center of the bend of your wrist. (15 degrees is 1/6 of the arc your arm swings from vertical up to horizontal.)

6) While gripping the shaft of the cane (NOT the handle) twist the rubber tip from the end of the cane.

7) Cut the cane with a fine tooth hacksaw at the marked point. then replace the rubber tip back onto the bottom of the cane.

8) The cane height should give you a slight bend to your elbo so you have a bit of a "lift off"

9) REMEMBER MEASURE TWICE! CUT ONCE .. you can not add on to your cane if you cut it to short.

10) Congratulations! You look Marvelous and now you "Walk with Style(r)"

*Caution, people will come up to you to ask where you bought your stylish cane!
