Drop-off Detection with the Long Cane: Effects of Different Cane Techniques on Performance.

Dae Shik Kim¹, Robert Wall Emerson, Amy Curtis.

Abstract

This study compared the drop-off detection performance with the two-point touch and constant contact cane techniques using a repeated-measures design with a convenience sample of 15 cane users with visual impairments. The constant contact technique was superior to the two-point touch technique in the drop-off detection rate and the 50% detection threshold. The findings may help an orientation and mobility instructor select an appropriate technique for a particular client or training situation.
