Assistive cane

An assistive cane is like a special walking stick that helps people who have trouble walking or balancing. It's sometimes called a "walking aid".

The cane is made of a strong material like wood, metal or plastic. It's usually around shoulder height for the person who uses it. At the bottom of the cane there is a rubber tip that helps grip the ground and provides traction.

When people use the cane, they hold it with one hand and put the rubber tip on the ground. Then, they step forward with the other foot. The cane helps keep them balanced and can also help people take some weight off their legs if they have pain or weakness.

Assistive canes come in different styles and sizes. Some have special features like adjustable height, extra grip, or lights to help see in the dark. Some people also decorate their canes to make them special and unique to them.

Overall, assistive canes can help people stay safe and independent while walking, which is especially helpful for those who may have difficulty with balance, strength, or mobility.
