4.3 Adjusting the Handle Height

WARNING!
Risk of falling
– Always ensure that the hand knobs are
tightened securely to prevent the handle from
unintended lowering.
– Do not set the handles above their highest
allowed position, indicated by the marking on
the tubes.
If the user is not supposed to adjust the height
of the handles, e.g. for safety reasons, the hand
knobs can be replaced by locking screws (available
as accessory).
Recommended height: The handles should be
positioned at wrist height when standing straight
with relaxed arms. Therapist may suggest different
heights depending on specific needs of the client.

For a more comfortable hand position, you may swivel the
