CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
Footplate Adjustment
All Convaid footplates are height adjustable. To determine the
correct seat-to-footplate height, measure from the back of the
knee to the bottom of the heel.

NOTE:
By flipping the footplate upside-down, it allows you to
accommodate shorter leg drops than the chair is otherwise
able to do in standard configuration.

Height Adjustment:
The soles of the feet or heels should rest comfortably on top of
the footplates. To achieve this, remove detent pins on the front of
the leg tubes, slide the footplate to the desired height and reinsert
the pins. When the footplate is adjusted in its highest position, the
excess material of the calf flap may be wrapped under the footplate
and attached with Velcro
