canes
Mobility support sticks
Canes is the plural of cane—a walking stick, a length of bamboo or rattan, or the woody stem of certain plants like sugar cane or raspberry canes.
As a verb, canes means to beat with a cane as punishment, still practiced in some school systems and judicial codes: The headmaster caned him for tardiness.
She pruned the raspberry canes in early spring.
