I've just gotten my first quad cane! I ordered it two days ago and
it just came today.
Now, I have kind of an odd question: for those of you who use canes-
doesn't matter what kind-which foot do you step forward with first? I
use the cane on my left side, because that's the leg that gives me the
most trouble-it's the same one that started giving me trouble back in
'94. When I walk, I step forward with the right foot and bring the
cane forward with my left hand at the same time. My father claims
that I should be bringing the cane forward and stepping forward with
my left foot (the side I'm having trouble with) at the same time.
Now, I could swear that I'm walking the way they told me to walk when
I went to PT years ago.
Who's right?
