  • Canes consisting of a single adjustable-length shaft and a standard C-handle (also known as crook handle) designed to provide additional support to the user while walking. These canes usually consist of a straight shaft divided in several sections with holes and pins to adjust the desired height, a standard handle at the proximal end, and a rubber tip at the distal end. The handle is typically curved which gives extra support and allows the patient to retain the cane over an arm while performing other tasks. It also includes an easy-to-turn button/knob at its base with a mechanism that is activated to adjust the length of the cane to fit different heights. They are typically made of sturdy materials such as light metals (e.g., aluminum), plastics (e.g., acrylics), fiberglass, or a combination of these. Standard-handle adjustable-length canes are mainly designed for use by patients with pain, one-sided weakness, and/or mobility disabilities; they are also available with hand straps/bands.
