Best Answer

A cane is meant to be leaned apon and assist to take weight off the legas as one walks. It will have a curved handle at the top or a "T" shape or one of several designs, but with the top able to support the weight of a person leaning against it palm down. A well fitting cane to be useful to the user is slightly longer than the distance between the ground and their palm with the arm hanging down at their side. A walking stick is much longer. Sometimes it can be as tall or taller than the user. It is a straight pole, usually round wood, or a long tappered branch. The walking stick is usefull for walking uneven terrain and is gripped toward the upper end with the hand higher than the elbow.
