I am tall and need support for balance. I found that a cane works better than a walker because I can extend the height and not have to bend over. My walker requires me to hunch over and always be looking down while with a cane I can look forward most of the time. Seniors tend to slouch anyway so anything for correcting that helps. I have seen walking sticks which look like ski poles but I don't want to stand out in a crowd and a cane is unobtrusive.
