One person mentioned that the traditional style of cane with a horizontal handle could be bad for their wrists, so they were looking at "posture" canes or any with an upright handle. Another user suggested going through Ortho to get mobility aids especially with having EDS as canes shift your gait to one side and usually elbow crutches or walking sticks are preferred by Ortho. One person also mentioned using a cane that folds out into a little seat so they can sit down and rest anywhere. If the cane hurts your hands, it was suggested to try more cushioning on the cane or wearing gloves.
