walking. They can be used indoor and outdoor

Height Adjustment
· Remove product from its packaging
· Check for damage. If you see any, or suspect
a fault, do not use, contact your supplier
immediately.
· Ideally the stick height should be set or
checked by suitably qualified healthcare
professional.

should be able to maintain an upright posture
with their elbow slightly bent, this will allow
body weight to transfer through the stick
when walking.
· To Adjust the height, press in the spring
button, turn the leg slightly and slide the leg
up or down to the required height, turn leg
back until the button springs back into the
appropriate hole.
