Cane Length

Cane Length is very important. If the cane is too short you will not detect obstacles in time and will run into things. If it is too long it will be hard to use. Cane length is a matter of personal choice. I use a 64 inch cane which is thought by many people to be too long. I think that if anything my cane is too short. For beginners it is best to start with a cane that comes somewhere between shoulder and chin height. As they gain more experience they will probably want a longer cane.
