2.1. Therapy Application
FROG is used to teach children and adolescents who need additional support and stabilization of the
upper body due to disorders of the nervous and muscular system to walk and move independently.
The use of this walking aid during therapy should be supervised by a clinician. The suitability of the
device depending on the degree of the condition should be assessed by a doctor or therapist and
settings or adjustments made in an appropriate manner.
Particular attention should be paid to the position of the user’s feet and, if necessary, the tendancy to
cross the feet. The use of lower leg orthoses is necessary in many cases. Getting in and out of the walker
must be done with the support of the supervisor. The child should grip the handles tightly and place
their forearms in the armrests. If there is insufficient control of the arms they can be stabilized with
straps in the armrests.
The supervisor should accompany the user either in front of or behind the walker, paying particular
attention to lateral stability (support with hands if necessary), as well as the position of the feet (avoid
crossing).
The initial training takes place step by step, which can be promoted in a playful way (e.g. with a ball).
Attention must be paid to fatigue, whereby regular breaks can be taken using the seat. Folding down
and taking the seat as well as transferring back to standing must be practiced progressively under
guidance and can then be done autonomously in most cases. 11
2. Operation

2.2. Unfolding the Walker
The rear wheel of the walker should be
supported on the ground to release the
plunger lock. (DO NOT lift up the walker)

on frame.
Note: There is no need to pull the left lock.
Unlock
12

1. Pull back the rear frame against front
wheels on the ground.
2. Once walker is upright, ensure plunger
locks on both sides are ‘engaged’ and in
locked positions.
Caution: Please ensure locks are fully
engaged before use.
13

2.3. Folding the Walker
1. Pull out and disengage plungers lock on
both sides of the links.
2. Holding on to both sides of lock and frame,
slowly articulate the rear frame forward or
front frame backwards.
3.Fold walker until right lock engages to lock
folded position.
14

4. Remove both armrests from their sockets
(for models M1-X, M3-X, L1-X and L-3X
with armrests; other models do not have
armrest).
5. The walker is now secured and folded.
15

2.4.Attaching Arm Supports
(for models M1-X, M3-X, L1-X and L-3X with armrests; other models do not have armrest).
Each armrest needs to be on the correct side of the walker:
•Take note of section of arm rest that should face outwards (see below circled in red)
•Handle and knob should face forward
•Armrests can only be engaged in holder on correct side
16

1. Locate the armrest shaft socket.
2. Pull out lock [1] and hold it in position.
3. Holding the aluminium shaft, engage the
arm support into the hole.
4. At desired position, release lock ensuring
pin has engaged with hole in the shaft. If not
engaged, gently slide the shaft up or down
until lock snaps in.
Refer to page 28 on how to re-adjust

The anti-reverse ratchet and the wheel lock are maintenance free. Please verify correct
functioning before initial usage.

Lift force of the seat is controlled by mechanisms located on both the left and right below
the seat.There are two adjustable components for each side -[A] and [B].
3.1. Seat Lifting Force Adjustment
Important: Scales [A] and [B] should be adjusted equally on BOTH sides.
Adjustments should also only be done with seat in flipped up position.
A B AB

3. Lift seat
(for models M1-X, M2-X, L1-X and L-2X with seat; other models do not have seats).

[A] controls the lifting force acting on the user
when in sitting position. The higher the lifting
force, the easier it is to get up.
[B] controls the transition force when the seat is
in half elevated position. Decreasing [B] means it
will be easier to push the seat down in transition.
