ページを印刷するThank you for purchasing the 3rd Foot Cane
There is a learning curve to my cane from
a few minutes to several days depending
on the user. If you are used to using a
traditional cane watching the videos
below will make it easier to learn how
to use the cane properly to maintain or
regain more upright posture and a more
balanced, stable walking gait.
Please hold the cane handle with your
index finger and thumb wrapped around
the front of the cane handle like the
photo below. Let the cane foot strike the
ground together with the foot of your
opposite leg from back to front.
I have included some photos below on
how to and how not to hold and use the
cane handle and the cane foot properly.
Please stand up as straight as you can
when you use the cane. When the
height of the cane is adjusted properly
the weight of your body is distributed
between the cane's foot and your feet. You
don't have to lean forward onto the cane's
handle to maintain balance.
Adjust the cane height of the 3rd Foot
Cane higher than you would a traditional
cane. There are 2 how to adjust videos
available on Instagram and YouTube. Use
your phone to scan in the codes below.
by Aligned As Designed.
When the cane height is adjusted
properly your shoulders should be
level and your head should be centered
between your shoulders.
How To Use The 3rd Foot Cane
1. Hold the cane on the side of your body
next to the outside of your stronger
leg.
2. The cane foot should be next to the
outside of your foot. Not in front of it,
or out to the side away from your body
like you do to maintain balance with a
traditional cane.
3. Move the cane foot together with your
weaker leg an equal distance forward.
Let the cane foot and your foot strike
the ground together from heel to toe
like in the videos. The cane's foot
should not move further forward than
the foot of your opposite leg. **If you
have pain in your knees or your hip
move the cane foot forward slightly
less than your opposite foot when you
walk.
