Intended use
These devices are designed to take pressure / weight off one or both legs, 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. To provide fine adjustment
the single trough height can be adjusted with its own adjustment handle to provide a good posture for the
user. The double trough height can only be adjusted using the wheel or leg adjustments. The trough
handle is adjusted by turning the black handle below the trough and either pulling out the handle or
pushing it in dependant on the user. The rear legs should be set one hole above the front wheels which
will aid balance whilst in use (both front 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.
