FAQs
What is the maximum user weight for this walking stick?
The NRS Healthcare Folding Walking Stick is designed to support a maximum user weight of 135kg (21 stone).
How do I adjust the height of the stick?
To adjust the height, locate the integral pin clip button on the upper shaft. Press the button and slide the lower section of the stick up or down until the desired height is reached. Ensure the pin audibly clicks back into place to secure the height.
Does it come with a carry case?
Yes, this walking stick is supplied with a plastic carry wallet for convenient storage and transport when folded.
Is the ferrule replaceable?
Yes, the 19mm (0.75") non-slip rubber ferrule is designed to be replaceable. It's recommended to check it regularly for wear and replace it if it becomes worn or damaged to maintain safety.
Can this stick be used both indoors and outdoors?
Absolutely. Its durable construction and non-slip ferrule make it suitable for providing reliable support on various surfaces, whether you are indoors or outside.
What kind of handle does it have?
It features an easy-to-grip wooden handle designed for comfort and a secure hold during use.
Troubleshooting
Stick won't snap into place securely when unfolded.
Ensure all four sections are fully extended and aligned. Sometimes a gentle shake or slight pull on the handle can help the internal elastic cord pull the sections together until the locking mechanism engages. If the issue persists, check for any debris or damage within the joint mechanisms.
Height adjustment button is stuck or difficult to press.
Apply a small amount of silicone spray or a light lubricant (like WD-40, sparingly) around the pin clip and the adjustment holes. Work the button in and out several times to distribute the lubricant. Ensure no dirt or grit is lodged in the mechanism.
Rubber ferrule is slipping or worn.
The rubber ferrule is a wear-and-tear item. If it's showing signs of wear (flat spots, cracks, or reduced grip), it needs to be replaced. Ensure you purchase a 19mm (0.75") replacement ferrule for proper fit and safety. Replacement is usually a simple push-on task.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the walking stick and its accessories (carry wallet, wrist cord) from the packaging.
- Unfold: Hold the handle and allow the four sections of the stick to unfold. They will automatically snap together and lock into place to form a rigid stick.
- Adjust Height:
- Locate the integral pin clip near the base of the upper shaft.
- Press the button on the pin clip and slide the lower section of the stick up or down to your desired height.
- Ensure the pin audibly clicks into one of the pre-drilled holes, indicating it is securely locked.
- For proper height, stand upright with your arms relaxed at your sides. The top of the handle should align with the crease in your wrist.
- Attach Wrist Cord: If desired, loop the provided wrist cord through the small hole near the handle for added security against drops.
Compatibility
- User Weight: This walking stick is compatible with users weighing up to a maximum of 135kg (21 stone).
- User Height: Adjustable height from 840mm (33 inches) to 940mm (37 inches) accommodates a wide range of adult users.
- Environment: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use on various stable surfaces.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum shaft and wooden handle regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Ensure the stick is thoroughly dried after cleaning or if it gets wet during use to prevent moisture damage.
- Ferrule Check: Periodically inspect the rubber ferrule for wear and tear. If it becomes worn, cracked, or loses its grip, replace it immediately to maintain safety. Replacement ferrules are commonly available.
- Joint Inspection: Check the folding joints and locking mechanism regularly to ensure they operate smoothly and securely. Do not use the stick if joints are loose or damaged.
- Storage: When folded, store the stick in its provided plastic carry wallet in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
