transport (on the user's lap, for example) can cause injury to the user or other persons!
• During transport, walking canes or crutches should always be secured using a cane holder!
• Open the upper Velcro fastener.
• Place the lower end of the walking cane or the crutches in the container at the bottom.
• The walking cane or the crutches can be secured at the upper end using the Velcro fastener.
