Tools
Quick calculators and size charts, each built from a named source.
Cane and Walker Height CheckerEnter the height of your wrist crease to see the cane or rollator handle height OrthoInfo advises and which canes and rollators in our guides reach it.Raised Toilet Seat Height CalculatorEnter your toilet height and your ideal seated height to see how many inches a raised toilet seat should add, and which seats in our guide come closest.Wheelchair Ramp Length CalculatorEnter the height of your step in inches to see the ramp length the ADA 1:12 slope needs, and which portable ramps in our guide are long enough.
Which Tool to Use When
- Buying a ramp for a step? Use the ramp length calculator. It turns the step height into the length the ADA's 1:12 slope needs.
- Choosing a raised toilet seat? Measure your toilet and your ideal seated height, then use the raised toilet seat height calculator.
- Fitting a cane or rollator? Use the cane and walker height checker with the height of your wrist crease.
How They Work
Each calculation runs in your browser, and we do not store what you type. Each tool reads its numbers from a named source: the ADA Standards for ramps, the Joint Replacement Resource Centre's method for raised seats and OrthoInfo's wrist crease rule for canes and walkers. Every tool page lists its sources.
What They Cannot Tell You
A calculator gives a starting number from a measurement. It does not know your balance, strength or home. A physical therapist or occupational therapist can fit equipment to you, and the tools here are meant to help you ask the right questions.
