Perhaps it’s the stigma or maybe it’s just the hassle. But many of us could really benefit from using a cane as we go about our daily activities- and yet we resist. We already know from a recent post in agebuzz that deadly falls are on the rise- and one common cause of senior falls is unsteadiness on your feet. In a recent post in the Chicago Tribune, commentator Don Rose even implored the fashion industry to promote canes as “must have’ accessories, so that more of us will embrace their use. And in today’s world, the options for canes are tremendous- and even enticing. Over at Fashionable Canes, you can find a cane in almost any conceivable style and material. And if you’re looking for a cane that “multi-tasks,” consider this option that also provides you with a sturdy seat. In the long run, using a cane is at most a minor inconvenience for a major boost to your stability and good health.
