Walking canes are helpful for those recovering from surgery or managing a long-term injury. At Broadway Home Medical in Wichita, Kansas, we carry a wide selection of standard, heavy-duty, and specialty walking canes — and we're here to help you find the one that fits your needs and your style.
Cane types include folding canes, adjustable canes, canes with built-in seats, quad base canes, and canes for the visually impaired. Accessories like cane tips and wrist straps can extend the life of your cane and improve safety. Getting the right height is important — a cane that's too short or too tall can cause discomfort or reduce support.
Adjustable walking canes offer customizable height settings to ensure optimal comfort and support. They are ideal for individuals who need a cane that adapts to their specific height, and are available in lightweight, durable materials with comfortable grip handles.
The Medline Offset Handle Cane is a great choice — it features a cushioned offset handle for added comfort, a secure grip, lightweight construction, and a non-slip rubber tip for stability on various surfaces.
Folding canes are designed for portability and convenience. They collapse down for easy storage in a bag or car and are ideal for travel and on-the-go lifestyles. Despite their compact design, they offer sturdy construction for reliable support and are available in a variety of styles and colors.
The HurryCane Freedom Edition Folding Cane features a stable base and a pivoting head for better balance and traction. Its collapsible design makes it easy to carry and store wherever you go.
Ergonomic handle canes are designed to reduce hand fatigue and provide a secure, comfortable grip during extended use. They typically feature shock-absorbing construction and stylish designs to match personal preferences — making them a good choice for anyone who relies on a cane throughout most of the day.
The NOVA Designer Walking Cane with Offset Handle features a soft foam handle with an offset design to reduce wrist strain, along with vibrant patterns that add a personal touch to your mobility aid.
Yes. Our decorative walking canes combine functionality with fashion, featuring unique designs, high-quality materials, comfortable grips, and sturdy bases. They are perfect for individuals who want to express their personality while still getting reliable support. One popular option is the Brazos Twisted Hickory Walking Cane.
Hold the cane on your stronger side to support the opposite leg. As you step forward with the weak or injured leg, move the cane forward at the same time — the same distance as your average step. If you find yourself catching up with the cane, it may affect your posture and cause back pain. Walking with a cane can feel different at first, but with practice it becomes second nature.
Stand close to the first step and lead with your stronger leg. Lean slightly forward and bring your cane and weaker leg up together. Repeat until you reach the top — and always go slow.
Step down with your weaker leg and cane at the same time, then follow with your stronger leg. Maintain upright posture and avoid leaning forward. Going down can feel more uncertain than going up — always go slow.
The right cane height depends on your own height and arm length. When holding the cane at your side, your elbow should be slightly bent — typically around a 15 to 20 degree angle. A cane that is too short or too tall can cause discomfort and reduce its effectiveness. Our staff can help you determine the right fit when you visit either of our Wichita locations.
We carry cane tips, wrist straps, and other accessories to extend the life of your cane and improve safety during use. Ask our staff about available accessories when you stop in.
