I haven’t been to the U.S. for quite a while so I don’t know how common canes are there, but here in Japan it’s not unusual to see people using them. Just today, I remember noticing three people walking with canes when I was out doing errands; there were probably more, but I wasn’t paying attention. Japan’s population is aging rapidly, which helps to reduce any stigma there might have been about using a cane. I don’t need a cane yet myself, but when I do there will be many to choose from: http://tsueya.com/ http://tsueya.com/
