Enter the length of the walking stick and the angle of inclination into the calculator to determine the height; this calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.
Walking Stick Height Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the height of a walking stick.
H = (L * sin(A)) / sin(90 - A)
Variables:
- H is the height of the walking stick
- L is the length of the walking stick
- A is the angle of inclination of the walking stick
To calculate the height of the walking stick, multiply the length of the walking stick by the sine of the angle of inclination. Then divide the result by the sine of the complementary angle (90 – A).
What is a Walking Stick Height?
A walking stick height refers to the appropriate length of a walking stick or cane that a person should use for optimal comfort and support. This height is typically determined by the distance from the floor to the user’s wrist when their arm is hanging naturally at their side. The correct height allows the user to maintain a slight bend in their elbow for balance and stability. If a walking stick is too long, it can cause shoulder strain, and if it’s too short, it can cause the user to stoop. Therefore, it’s crucial to adjust the walking stick to the correct height for the individual user to ensure it provides the necessary support and reduces the risk of falls or injuries.
