It worked but was very hard on my shoulder because ultimately more weight went on my shoulder on the side where I was holding the cane. But it worked.

I am being discharged from a physical rehab center after breaking my hip, and will need to use a walker or realtor for a couple of months. Would love any advice since I cannot attach my white cane to this device. Thanks for any help
