Dear vinod,
just hold the mobility cane with your thumb, index finger and middle finger
like holding pencil and touch the ground with the bottom end of the cane.
It is called "the pencil technique." Now move the cane as per the regular
procedure, i.e if you put your left leg, the cane should be your right side,
and if you put your right leg, the cane should be your left side. you need
some practice to use the cane in normal method and in the pencil technique.
I learnt mobility from NAB mobility training centre bangalore in 1991. The
dedicated instructors taught me all the techniques in mobility and they used
to walk with the trainees in the busy roads and market, and railway station
etc, all over the day. I take this opportunity to thank the NAB mobility
training centre bangalore. they have changed my life by giving such a
wonderful training and made me walk independently, safely and gracefully.
