PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND ALWAYS USE AS ADVISED

Intended use

These devices are designed to provide support, stability and help with mobilisation of people with walking
difficulties and disabilities. This is a personal device that can be used singular or as pairs.

Adjusting the device

The device must be adjusted by your medical professional prior to use.
To adjust your device the spring clip buttons are to be pressed in and the inner tube is either pulled out to
make the device longer or pushed down to make the device shorter, when the device is at the correct
height the buttons are then released and must fully protrude through the adjustment holes prior to use.
This method should also be used where the crutch has cuff adjustment. When standing upright holding
the handgrip the user's arm should be slightly bent, when standing beside the device the handgrip should
reach just above the wrist joint.
Walking – Non-weight bearing
The affected leg should be kept off the ground by bending the knee slightly and the unaffected leg should
take the weight of the user whilst the crutches are placed one step ahead and level with each other. Move
forwards between the crutches swinging the unaffected leg through so that is lands just in front of the
crutches and repeat.
Walking – Partial weight bearing
The affected leg should take some weight for stability and the crutches are placed one step ahead and
level with each other. Place the affected leg on the ground just before the crutches and step through with
the unaffected leg, repeat.

On stairs

Where possible the user should use a handrail, hold the crutch not in use in the other hand (or give the
crutch to someone else) and use the single crutch for support with the handrail.
When ascending stairs, the user should lead with the unaffected leg first, then bring the affected leg onto
the same step followed by the crutch and repeat. When descending stairs, the user should place the
crutch on the step below followed by the moving the affected leg onto that step and lastly the unaffected
leg should be brought onto the same step and repeat.
