Instructions to use Cardinal Offset Cane

How to determine the proper size?

1. Wear your usual walking shoes, stand comfortably, and let your arms hang at your sides with a natural bend at your elbow.
2. The individual helping you size your cane should place the handle on the floor, opposite the side of the injured or weaker leg, with your palm facing the cane.
3. Your correct cane height matches the adjustment hole closest to the crease in the middle of your wrist.

Height Adjustment

1. Loosen the secure lock collar on the cane base. Press the push button and turn the button section of the base, lengthening or shortening it to the correct height by sliding the base up or down.
2. Twist the base until the button pops into the adjustment hole. Make sure the button has popped out completely. Push buttons are engaged when they fully protrude through the holes in the bracket, and an audible click is heard.
3. Tighten the secure lock collar on the cane base.
