A helpful technique for white cane users is mastering the side-to-side sweeping motion. This involves gently moving the cane from one side to the other in front of you, ensuring it covers the entire width of your body. This sweeping motion helps detect obstacles, curbs, and changes in the walking surface before you encounter them. Keep the cane tip in contact with the ground and use a relaxed wrist to maintain a consistent rhythm. This practice not only enhances spatial awareness but also boosts confidence and safety while navigating various environments.
