Explanation:

All other statements are said right by the client except the statement regarding the height of the cane. Canes are used for walking purpose, they come in various size and shapes. But the correct height of cane is customized to the individual who is using it. For it, stand straight with arms straight down, and the cane you are to use should be long enough that it touches the wrist of your arm, not above and not below this height else cane would be much bigger or shorter and would have differential pressure exertion on knees.
