Intended use

These devices are designed to provide support, stability and mobilise people with walking difficulties and
disabilities. This is a personal device and is manually operated by the user.

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 wheel/leg assembly is either
pulled out to make the device higher 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. All 4 assemblies (wheels or legs) must be set at the same height. 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-wheeled)

Lift the frame and place it one step ahead of you, step towards the frame with the weakest leg first, bring
the second leg to meet the first leg, repeat these actions to mobilise to desired place. Do not walk too far
into the frame.

Walking (wheeled)

Lift the back legs of the frame and push the frame one step ahead of you, place the rubber feet on the
ground and step towards the frame with the weakest leg first, bring the second leg to meet the first leg,
repeat these actions to mobilise to desired place. The frame will need to be repositioned to go around
corners as the wheels are fixed. Do not walk too far into the frame.

Sitting

The user should manoeuvre themselves to a position where they can feel the chair/bed behind their legs,
they should reach behind and feel for the chair handle or mattress whilst maintaining balance with the
device in your other hand, the second hand should be placed on the chair handle or mattress (you may
need to lean forward slightly) and in a slow and controlled manner, the user should lower themselves into
a seating position.
