Re: Teaching Cane Skills with Physical Limitations

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Julie,

Light canes like NFB or Ambutech slimline are options to consider, as well as using moldable plastics to refine the grip to match works for him with the availabe digits on his right hand. Working with an OT can be very helpful.?

Another option is to use a cuff that can attach to the cane or that the grip of the cane can slide through.?

Hope these are helpful for starting options to explore,

Chris

Hey all! I have a new client who has some physical limitations, and I need some help being creative. He will need to learn to use a cane. However, due to an accident, he does not have a left hand, and his right hand only has 3 fingers (thumb, middle and ring finger) that are not completely functional. What are some things I can do to modify a cane for him to be able to use one?

?

Thanks,
Julie
