How to choose the right walking stick height

The right walking stick height sits at your wrist crease when you stand upright in everyday shoes, with a slight bend in the elbow as you hold the handle. Use the chart below as a starting band, then fine-tune with an adjustable stick on a flat floor.

Practical guidance only. For medical decisions after surgery, injury or long-term conditions, consult a doctor or physiotherapist.
