Canes & Crutches Canada
Choosing Between Canes and Crutches
Canes and crutches are the most underestimated mobility aids. The right cane gives you stability for years. The right crutches get you through recovery without sore underarms or wrist pain. Picking the wrong size or style is the most common reason people give up on them too early.
Canes vs Crutches: Quick Guide
Single point cane
For mild balance support. Lightweight, easy to use one handed.
Quad cane
Four point base. Stands on its own. For users needing more stability.
Folding cane
Travel friendly. Folds into a bag or pocket.
Underarm crutches (axillary)
Standard for short term recovery from foot, ankle, or knee injuries. The pad rests against your ribs (not your underarms despite the name).
Forearm crutches (Lofstrand)
Better for longer term use. Less strain on the shoulders and wrists.
Air crutches
Padded version with a softer underarm interface. Easier on extended use.
How to Size a Cane
Stand upright with your arms relaxed at your sides. The top of the cane handle should sit at your wrist crease. Most adjustable canes cover 28 inches to 39 inches.
How to Size Crutches
Stand upright. The top of the crutch should sit 1 to 1.5 inches below your armpit. The handgrip should be at hip height with your elbow slightly bent. Wrong sizing causes nerve compression and shoulder pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cane and crutch brands do you carry?
Drive Medical, Airgo, and Ossenberg. All are widely trusted and what we recommend in our showroom.
Do canes need to be replaced?
The cane itself lasts years. The rubber tip wears out and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months for safety. Worn tips slip on wet floors.
Can I use crutches if I have weak grip strength?
Forearm crutches are easier on the hands than underarm crutches because the cuff supports your weight, not just your grip. The Drive Air Crutch also has padded grips that ease longer use.
What weight can a cane or crutches support?
Standard canes and crutches support up to 250 to 300 lb, and we carry heavy duty models that hold more. The Ossenberg BIG XL forearm crutches, for example, are rated up to 330 lb. Tell us the user's weight and we will match the right aid.
Are canes and crutches tax free in Canada?
Yes. Canes and crutches qualify as assistive devices, so we sell them with no GST or HST in Canada. The tax free price is applied automatically at checkout.
Do you ship canes and crutches across Canada?
Yes. Free shipping on canes and crutches across Canada.
