It's not at wrist height and the elbow should never be straight while holding the  walking cane. Keep adjusting until you get it correct. Now it is at wrist height, with a slight bend in the elbow…. perfect. The optimal way to use a cane is to place it in the opposite hand of the weak or involved side. In this case, his left lower extremity is involved. To practice the correct pattern, stand still and move the cane and the involved side together. When you dance, you move with your partner. The cane and the involved side are partners, so they always have to move together.

Note that the angle of his leg and the cane are the same, this is correct.  The cane is now on the same side as the involved side.  The Dynamo Walking  cane is the correct  hand, but it is not moving together with the involved left side. Again, not correct. The angle of the cane and the angle of his involved side should be the same. Going up the steps, one step at a time, step up with the uninvolved side fist followed by the involved side and cane together. Always remember to hold the rail. Going up the steps reciprocally simply keep the cane on the same step as the involved side. Remember, they always go together. When coming down the steps, step down with the involved side and cane first. Then followed by the uninvolved side. If done reciprocally simply keep the cane on the same step as the involved side. Remember to always hold the rail.
