The Construct

• Flexible Polymer Forearm Hold: The forearm rests on the specially designed rest. It is flexible to allow free movement of the hand away from the handle when on the move. It also allows for length adjustability as per length of forearm (as measured from the wrist till elbow) from 21 cm to 29 cm.
• Length can be adjusted by pressing and shifting the soft press pin upward or downward. It fits forearms with a circumference up to 30 cm comfortably.
• Soft top Handle: The handle is scientifically designed for comfortable use by both hands, with a wide top that ensures a strong grip with uniform load bearing across the palm and fingers. Soft gel on handle top being latex free, non-allergenic, odourless and durable makes for excellent shock absorption and ease of maintenance. The handle is light blue in contrast with the black elbow crutch which makes it elegant and appealing.
• Mild Steel & Aluminium Alloy Body: Pairing the strength of the steel with the lightness and resilience of aluminium, the main body is well strengthened yet very light. It is further anodised in black for safety against wear and tear
• Height Adjustable: Top handle height ranges between 75 cm to 99 cm (check this is the distance of your wrist from the ground when standing straight. For the perfect match, you can add 2-3 cms for forward movement). The height can be adjusted by moving the spring-loaded pin in gradations of 2 cms
• Non-slip ferrule: Made of high quality TPE, the base is designed for creating a slight suction with concentric grooves on the base. A peculiar part of the design are the extensions on the tip for better gripping. This helps it work well even if the floor is slightly wet or has a naturally low grip quality such as highly polished marble or granite. Can be easily replaced by pulling it off once worn or damaged

How to Adjust Height

• First identify the height you would want to adjust it to
• Stand straight and let your arms hang by your side comfortably
• Measure the distance from the ground to your inner wrist
• This is your ideal walking stick height
• You can always visit your Physician or Therapist to get a more ideal measure and recommendation in case of advanced health issues especially back pain or abnormal posture
• To choose right vs. left handed use, always opt for the side opposite to the affected limb. If you have pain in your left leg, use the walking cane on your right side
• Holding the stick in your lap or on a table, loosen the metal tension screw at the bottom
• Press the small metal spring-loaded pin on the side of the stick and press it inwards
• Push or pull the base to adjust the height of the stick as necessary
• Once adjusted, simply align the pin with the groove you want it fitted at
• Tighten the tension screw at the bottom again
• The ferrule can be changed or pulled out for cleaning easily. Please ensure it is well settled on the base before using the stick daily

How to Adjust Forearm-hold Length

• First measure the distance between your elbow and your wrist
• Now press the pin on the side of the forearm hold and adjust the length so that the distance from the base of the handle joint to the outer point of the forearm cup matches that Open the strap on forearm cup
• Slide your arm through and hold the handle
• Now check the forearm cup for comfort
• If necessary, press the pin and move it a point lower for comfort
• Put the strap on again and test for comfort by moving around
• Readjust as necessary

Remember

• Please do not use the stick to lift, hold or bar weights such as luggage or as tool for defence
• The coating is prone to scratches. Please do not throw it around or misuse it for any other purpose
• If you notice damage to the body of the stick, please replace it
