There are two small holes on the back of the crutch where the cuff attaches and locks into. To remove a cuff, squeeze the handle where the two cuff edges meet then wiggle and then unhook. To put a cuff back on just slot one side of the cuff into one hole and then pull the other side over and click in. If you’d like to watch a video please check out our How To Videos.
On the main stem of the stick there is a clip, to remove the clip push both arms backwards. Once removed slide the inside pole down holding onto the ferrule (rubber on the bottom of the stick) being careful not to twist. Once you've found the right height, match the hole on the stick up with a hole on the inner pole and then push the clip back into the main stem. If you’d like to watch a video please check out our How To Videos.
Yes! If twisting and pulling is not straightforward, soak the bottom of your stick or crutches in hot water for ten minutes to loosen and the removal becomes much easier. If you’d like to watch a video please check out our How To Videos.
