Walking Scks Instrucons for Use - EN
Intended use and indicaon
Our walking scks are designed for people with light mobility impairment with impairment to movements, compromised balance with suciently intact walking ability and impaired coordinaon. They are used to maintain, promote and
stabilise walking or to parally relieve the strain on the lower limbs. The walking scks can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is imperave that the safety instrucons are also observed!
Contraindicaon
The use of walking scks is unsuitable if there is a loss of limb in both arms or joint contractures/joint damage in both arms.
General safety informaon
Do not hang any bags, pouches or other objects on the walking sck! The walking sck may under no circumstances be used for any other purpose than that for
which it is intended, e.g. for liing or moving objects or as a tool for switching light switches or pressing buons on lis! It is essenal that the ground has a good
grip to ensure a secure hold of the walking sck! Avoid wet oors or surfaces such as gravel, sand, foliage, ice or snow! Pay aenon to stumbling points such as
unevenness, holes in the oor, loose oor coverings or edges, because the walking sck can unexpectedly slip away or sink in! Extra cauon is recommended when
lighng condions are insucient, since irregularies in the ground can then only be seen with diculty! When adjusng the push-buon, it must protrude from
the hole as far as it will go (Fig. 2)! The holes for adjusng the walking sck undergo a certain amount of wear. It is important to ensure that they are not worn out,
as this would prevent the push buon from locking securely. When adjusng the clip, the plasc clip must have a posive t when inserted (Fig. 1)! Prior to each
use, make sure that all screw connecons are rmly ghtened!
Adjusng the walking sck
Warning! Please contact your specialist dealer to ensure proper funconal and ergonomic adjustment! Incorrectly adjusted walking scks may restrict the funconality of the walking sck or lead to overloading or incorrect
loading of the paent! The walking sck is handed over to you as a paent in a proper condion, whereby it is individually adjusted to your body by your specialist dealer or health care specialist. If you have any doubts as to
whether this is the case, please contact the responsible specialist personnel. The walking sck can only oer you the relief you desire if it is opmally adapted to your body size. Adjustment: If your walking sck is ed with a
union nut, this must be loosened by approx. half a turn anclockwise prior to adjustment (Fig. 1). Unlock the height adjustment by pressing in the push buon or pushing out the clip. Adjust the length of the walking sck to your body size
by pulling the support tubes out or pushing them together. Lock the height adjustment once again by aligning the tubes as such, that the two locking holes are on top of each other, whereby the push-buon engages again. In case of clip
adjustment, reinsert the clip. Following adjustment, the union nut must be ghtened again. Height-adjustable walking scks can be shortened by max. 10 cm in the lower part. Non-adjustable walking scks are shortened by individually
adjusng the support tube to your size using a metal saw or a tube cuer. Cauon: Risk of falling due to walking scks buckling when the height adjustment is not locked correctly! Check the correct locking aer each adjustment by
aempng to twist or move the walking sck!
Use
There are many dierent ways to use the walking scks and it all depends on the individual restricons of the walking ability.
Seek instrucon in the use of the walking sck from your specialist dealer or health care specialist! Walking scks must not be
used in water. Any penetrang water can lead to corrosion forming and consequently to an increased risk of breakage. Avoid
prolonged contact of the walking sck with moisture. The walking sck must be dried appropriately when it comes into contact
with water. The correct handling of the walking sck takes some pracce. We therefore recommend geng addional support
from an assistant at the beginning. Always use the walking sck on the side opposite the injured leg or the leg that needs to be
protected! Guide the walking sck close to the body, not at an angle facing outwards (Fig. 3)! You might fall otherwise! During
use, grasp the handle of the walking sck completely and rmly with your hand! Always place the walking sck as straight
as possible on the ground so that you do not slip away! Find chairs with armrests to sit on. You will then be able to support
yourself on the armrests when standing up! Wear shoes that are as comfortable as possible with at soles so that your leg can
beer withstand addional strain! If you do fall: If possible, let the walking sck fall to the side so that you do not fall onto
it! Have someone accompany and support you if possible, so that they can catch you if you fall! Try and arrange for qualied
personnel to instruct you in climbing stairs with a walking sck! When climbing stairs with a walking sck, it is important to hold
on to the railing using your free hand (Fig. 4)! When climbing stairs with two walking scks, hold both walking scks together
in one hand and make sure to hold on to the railing rmly using your free hand (Fig. 5)!
Precauonary measure
Using a walking sck places an unusual amount of strain on individual parts of the body! This may result in the following undesirable side eects: The hands may encounter pressure or chang! Keep in mind that this can lead to pain and
overexeron at the beginning or during prolonged exeron! It is important to take sucient breaks!
Storage and care
Never store the walking scks in the vicinity of heat sources such as furnaces, heaters or in places suscepble to heat in a car! Do not expose walking scks to sunlight for prolonged periods of me! Strong sun or heat damages the plasc!
Protect your walking scks from toppling over and from damage to the paintwork (e.g. by using straps or holders). The rubber buer is a wearing part and must be replaced at regular intervals. Walking scks must only be used again aer
an extended period of non-use following prior inspecon by qualied personnel!
Warning! Never clean the handle and rubber cap using oily substances! There is a risk of slipping! In the event of contaminaon, clean the walking sck using a mild cleaning agent and a so cloth where necessary. Never use cleaners
containing solvents, since these will damage the plasc! Note: Should disinfecon be required, then a suitable disinfectant agent should be used. Please follow the manufacturer’s instrucons for use.
Limitaon of use
The walking sck must only be subjected to loads in accordance with the manufacturer’s instrucons. Observe the maximum permissible body weight that is specied on the product! Please contact your specialist dealer in the case of
greater loads or in case of any doubts. A bent or damaged walking sck must not be used under any circumstances, since it can no longer oer the necessary stability! A bent walking sck must also not be straightened because of the risk
of breakage! Note: All serious incidents that occur in connecon with the product must be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the Member State in which the user and/or the paent is located.
