Working Principle

The calculator uses a standard formula to determine the appropriate cane length based on your height and arm length. The formula adds your arm length, handle length, and a standard 20 cm shaft length to provide the total cane length.

Usage Recommendations

A properly measured cane should allow you to comfortably hold the handle with your arm bent at a 90-degree angle. The tip of the cane should reach the ground when your arm is extended naturally in front of you.
