The Best Types of Women’s Canes

January 21, 2022 · Cherry · Leave a Comment

 

Are you having mobility issues? Do you need to find a cane for support but you’re worried it won’t be stylish or comfortable to use?

Over 4.8 million people in the US rely on canes for mobility. There are many designs and types of canes available to choose from.

If you are a woman with mobility issues you need the support of a walking cane. Women’s canes don’t have to be boring. Here are some of the best walking canes for you.

How Are Women’s Canes Different?

Men and women come in different sizes, so different canes will meet their different needs. Most canes are adjustable to suit different heights. Measure the distance from your wrist joint to the floor to determine the correct height for your cane.

Larger men will need a cane that fits their size and weight. Men’s canes generally have thicker handles to suit a larger hand.

On average, women are usually smaller-boned and have thinner hands. They need an ergonomically designed handle that they can easily grasp. Canes for women can be slimmer and more lightweight.

There are many fashionable canes designed to appeal to a women’s taste and sense of style. Floral walking canes are very popular and may come with a convenient carrying strap.

When it comes to women’s canes, combining style with function can help encourage use.

Specialized Handles

When someone has arthritis, a wooden-handled cane may not be the best choice. Choose a padded one instead. The handle of your cane takes your weight with every step, so it’s an important part of selecting the right cane for you.

There are many different handle designs to choose from. It’s a personal choice and will depend on the size of a woman’s hand and the strength of their grip.

Folding Canes

Walking canes for women are more compact. They can be foldable and will slip easily into a medium-sized purse. These canes are usually very stylish and come in a choice of colorful patterns.

They aren’t designed to provide serious weight-bearing support.

Canes With Seating Built-In

One of the best walking canes for women has built-in seating. This is perfect for an active person who needs to be able to take short, frequent rests.

Look for a comfortable seat. The disadvantage of this type of cane is it’s heavier to carry and the folded seat may be awkward.

Canes For Extra Stability

For women with low coordination and balance, a quad cane can help. The tripod design has four small feet that extend from the foot of the cane.

Some canes have a quad-tip base that enables the cane to stand upright leaving your hands free. Weight-bearing support is more important than style but there are still some canes for women that provide the best of both worlds.

Find The Perfect Cane For You

When you realize how many different women’s canes there are to choose from, it will be easier to find the one that works for you. A combination of function and design will keep you walking in style.
