SERIES: RCN

GENERAL CARE & USE

Before use, always check to ensure product is in good working condition. Be sure your weight is within the weight capacity of the unit and the product is suitable for your needs and abilities. If you are uncertain, seek the advice of a suitably trained therapist or carer.

• Canes are adjustable to suit height.
• Loosen tension screw slightly, push the button down to release and slide up or down to adjust length, tighten the tension screw
• Some canes come with an attached strap
• Tips can be removed (replacement parts available)
• When using a cane, hold it in the hand opposite of the leg that needs support
• Always consult your physical therapist for correct size / height and use

Generally, the cane should come to the level of the hip bone on the side of your upper thigh. Another measure is to stand with the cane at your side - the top of the cane should be at the level of the wrist when your arm is hanging comfortably at your side.
