BetterLiving BL1234 Manual instruction

Unfolding / folding the walking frame Adjusting the height
Press in the brass locking button to disengage,
and turn the leg slightly so the button is no longer
aligned with the holes.
Move the leg up or down to your ideal height setting,
then turn the leg back to align the locking button
with the nearest hole. If unable to achieve an exact
height match, make the walking frame slightly
higher rather than shorter to avoid stooping.
The locking button must be fully engaged and
protruding through the height adjustment hole to
ensure a positive lock. Always test that the lock is
fully engaged before use.

Ideal height
To determine ideal height for your walking frame, stand
as straight as possible (preferably wearing an everyday
pair of shoes) and look straight ahead with your arms
relaxed at your sides.
In this position, the top of the
handgrips should sit level with your
wrist bone when the walking frame
is placed in the correct position
around your body. You can measure
the distance from your wrist bone
to the floor as a helpful reference for
height adjustment.
Using the walking frame
With both hands placed firmly around the handgrips at the top
of the walking frame, lift and place the frame to a comfortable
arm’s length ahead of you.
Alternatively, you can lift and place the frame to a comfortable
arm’s length ahead of you, making sure the frame is resting
stably on the ground.
Step in towards the frame, stepping o from your weaker leg
(if applicable). Do not step all the way to the front of the
walking frame; smaller steps are recommended. Always take
small steps when turning.
