How to walk with a cane: nursing assistive devices demonstration and NCLEX review.
One of the things you’ll want to know as a nurse is how to educate your patients on how to walk with a cane. Walking with a cane may seem like common sense, but there is a proper technique to doing it.
Before practicing or walking with a cane, it is important to use a gait belt for safety.
Make sure the patient is in the proper position so that the cane is 4 inches from the foot, and that they are holding the cane on the strong side of the body.
To ambulate with the cane, move the cane with the weak side. Then move the strong side forward.
