Before using a walking frame, it is important to check that it is set at the correct height. The height of the hand grips should be at the level of the wrist bone, when the elbows are very slightly bent. This angle is the best position for weight bearing. The height of the frame should be correct too. If the frame is too high, it is difficult to straighten out the elbows and the walking frame will not take enough body weight

through the arms. The arms will become very tired quickly.

A walking frame which is set too low is also bad for the patient. If the walking frame is too low, the person using it will be bent over in a poor posture. Sometimes,

physiotherapists set up a walking frame at a low height. This is to help people who tend to fall backwards. The lower height encourages them to lean forward instead.

There is a proper way to walk with a walking frame. The walking frame should be lifted and moved slightly in front of the person. The person leans on the walking frame and holds the hand grips. Then they take two steps of equal length into the centre of the frame.
