When using a cane, it belongs on the side with the injured or weak foot/leg.
Duh. Logic 101.

Proper Positioning:
When standing up straight, the top of your cane should reach to the crease in your wrist.
Your elbow should be slightly bent when you hold your cane.
Hold the cane in the hand opposite the side that needs support. For example, if your right leg is injured, hold the cane in your left hand.
