초록
This study investigates the influence of cane length on the weight distribution of the elderly in a standing position. Thirty participants were evaluated using two different cane lengths based on measurements of distal wrist crease to ground (WCcane), and distance of greater trochanter to ground (GT cane). A limloader was used to determine the weight distribution on the subjects. It was found that 6.5% of body weight was supported on a GT cane and 7.7% of body weight supported on a WCcane ina standing position. Results suggests that more weight is distributed on a WC cane than a GT cane in the elderly.
