At some point you might have an injury that impairs your ability to put weight on your leg and walk, making it difficult to maintain balance. If so, the use of a cane can be helpful to take pressure off the injured leg and improve your balance abilities.
Canes vary in materials they come in: wood or aluminum. They also vary in level of support on the bottom of the cane: one point or four points. Some even fold for better portability.
