- My mobility instructor gave me a couple of catalogs to view that have a lot of useful aides in them including the canes.
the website addresses are
www.LLSproducts.com
and
www.MaxiAids.com
Hope this helps.

- Hi,
Both our daughter and my husband use a cane, depending on the situation. I've found that Ambutech in Canada has a pretty good selection www.ambutech.com. Graphite seems better because they are lighter. Ambutech can make canes in any color. My husband has a black one and our daughter a pink one. There's some controversy about this, but I say if the only way a person who needs a cane will use one is if it isn't white, then I'd rather see the person safe.
