When using a walking cane you should put it in the hand opposite your worst leg.
When it comes to stairs, the first rule is to always use a rail if there is one. Place the cane in the hand not using the rail and use it to assist.
If you have rails on both sides at home it is usually best to use both of them and have 1 cane upstairs and 1 downstairs.
There is no point having an Elderly Mobility Aid if it is not used correctly
