Adjusting Crutch Height All Walk Easy forearm crutches (and many of our canes) use a Clip system for height adjustment. The pictorial below shows how to adjust crutch height using this mechanism. | ||
![]() | Hold the crutch or cane tube in the palm of your hand with the pin of the Clip facing you. | |
![]() | Using your thumbs, push downward on the edges of the Clip. The pin will disappear through the hole in the tube. | |
![]() | Remove the Clip. Adjust the tube to desired length, making sure the holes line up (inner and outer tubes). NOTE: on all children forearm crutch models, the adjustment holes are on the inner tube! | |
![]() | Hold the Clip between your thumb and forefinger and guide the pin into the hole. | |
![]() | Use your thumb to snap the Clip into place. | |
![]() | Check to make sure the Clip is installed properly and that the pin protrudes on the opposite side of the tube. |
Adjusting Cuff Height Some Walk Easy forearm crutches use a double push-button for cuff height adjustment. Use the pictorial below to guide you in adjusting cuff-to-grip height. | ||
![]() | Hold the cuff with one hand and the crutch tube at grip height with the other. It is easiest if you rest the grip on your knee or other surface. | |
![]() | Using your thumb and index finger, squeeze the push-buttons together. | |
![]() | Push down on the cuff to maintain the push-buttons depressed. | |
![]() | Rotate the cuff slightly. You can now move the cuff up and down without the push-buttons releasing. | |
![]() | Adjust the cuff to its correct height... | |
![]() | ...and rotate it until the push-buttons snap in place!![]() | |
