Instructions for use Parkinson's cane
1. Intended use and indication
This walking stick is an aid for Parkinson's patients. It serves to compensate for a disability and compensates for the loss or restriction of physical functions in the execution of
recurring movements and activities in everyday life. Our walking sticks are designed for people with light mobility impairment with impairment to movements, compromised
balance with sufficiently intact walking ability and impaired coordination. They are used to maintain, promote and stabilise walking or to partially relieve the strain on the lower
limbs. The walking sticks can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is imperative that the safety instructions are also observed!
2. Contraindication
The use of walking sticks is unsuitable if there is a loss of limb in both arms or joint contractures/joint damage in both arms.
3. General safety information
Do not hang any bags, pouches or other objects on the walking stick! The walking stick may under no circumstances be used for
any other purpose than that for which it is intended, e.g. for lifting or moving objects or as a tool for switching light switches or
pressing buttons on lifts! It is essential that the ground has a good grip to ensure a secure hold of the walking stick! Avoid wet floors
or surfaces such as gravel, sand, foliage, ice or snow! Pay attention to stumbling points such as unevenness, holes in the floor, loose
floor coverings or edges, because the walking stick can unexpectedly slip away or sink in! Extra caution is recommended when lighting
conditions are insufficient, since irregularities in the ground can then only be seen with difficulty! When adjusting the push-button, it
must protrude from the hole as far as it will go (Fig. 1)! The holes for adjusting the walking stick undergo a certain amount of wear. It is
important to ensure that they are not worn out, as this would prevent the push button from locking securely. Prior to each use, make
sure that all screw connections are firmly tightened (Fig. 2)!
4. Adjusting the walking stick
Warning! Please contact your specialist dealer to ensure proper functional and ergonomic adjustment! Incorrectly adjusted walking sticks may restrict the functionality
of the walking stick or lead to overloading or incorrect loading of the patient! The walking stick is handed over to you as a patient in a proper condition, whereby it is
individually adjusted to your body by your specialist dealer or health care specialist.
