Puppet with cane, one end fixed to the floor

Hi,

I'm currently rigging a puppet that has a cane in one hand and was wondering how I can pin down the lower end of the cane to the floor, while the top keeps being connect to the hand, even when the body is moving (not as in walking, just slight movement while talking). Right now no matter if the cane layer is independent or not, outside or inside the arm group, pinned down or not, it still moves with the body, including the lower end. Any help/rigging tips would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

"Stick" is the cane here.

    Yes that helps, thank you so much! I also pinned down the wrist in addition, and move the body through a combination of slight head movement and moving the wrist dragger slightly from left to right manually, since otherwise the up and down body movement makes the cane look unnaturally distorted.

      Would it help to make Stick independant and put on hinge?
