Check to make sure crutch tips and wheels are not ripped, worn or missing.

Short steps should be taken to assure weight is distributed evenly and directly

positioning of the hand grips for maximum support.
Care should be taken to ensure that ALL hand and height adjustments are
secure, and that wheels and moving objects are in good working order
before using this or any mobility aid.
All wheels MUST be in contact with the floor at ALL TIMES during use. This will
ensure the walker is properly balanced.
