I can't tell you what kind of cane to get for therapeutic reasons, but I can tell you where to find a huge choice of styles of canes that make you feel pretty (or handsome), once you know what you need. When I realized I needed a cane for balance, I decided to treat it as an accessory. I got mine from a catalog called "Fashionable Canes." You can order by mail and they'll cut them to the proper length for you. Some are really pricey, some are economical. Mine is a clear lucite cane with silver colored collar, and cost $36. I've had lots of compliments on it, even from a young hipster on the street last week ("Cool cane, lady!")
Anyone who really needs a cane should have one fitted by an OT or someone qualified to evaluate their abilities, but before graduating to a rollator my mom's friend swore by her quad canes.
If you or your father is "immobile in a wheelchair", then why do you need to know about the "Best Canes"? Is the cane for yourself? Please give us more details and information. Thanks.
