CORRECT ADJUSTMENTS
PLEASE NOTE:
These are our recommendations but should be checked with your physiotherapist.
When the stick is measured correctly the user should be able to maintain an upright posture
with the elbow slightly flexed. In this way, body weight is taken through the stick by pushing
down on the stick when walking. If adjustable, your stick will have either a horseshoe or
spring-pin type adjustment as below.
Horseshoe Clip Adjustment
1.
Remove the clip by grasping it between thumb and forefinger and pulling out.
2.
Slide the leg in or out to the ideal position.
3.
Push the clip back firmly into the hole.
4.
Check the clip is fully located before use.
Spring Pin Adjustment
1.
Press the two buttons in.
2.
Push the leg as if to shorten.
3.
Turn the leg slightly.
4.
Extend the leg to the required position, turn and re-locate buttons into the appropriate
holes.

Check pins are fully located before use.
