1.2 Safety measures prior to use
Correct usage of the anterior walker requires precise and careful training of the accompanying person. We ask you to read through the Instructions for use carefully
prior to initial commissioning of the upright trainer, and to observe them. Cushioned
parts may become warm when exposed to direct sunlight. Cover these parts or

2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
Indications
The anterior-walker MARCY has been designed for children and teenagers who
receive too much support from a posterior-walker but would not manage a standard
anterior-walker. The user‘s torso must provide more stabilisation when using an
anterior-walker in comparison to a posterior-walker.
MARCY offers the opportunity to adjust the wheel base and therefore increase
the support area to the back. This is how the patient‘s body centre of gravity shifts
within the support area of the anterior-walker.
When walking with MARCY, the muscle tension in the arms and legs increases and
precisely this increased strain represents an important indication for an anteriorwalker seen from a medical-therapeutic point of view.
Contraindications
In general, the indications for walking training should be approved by a doctor or
orthopedist. It should therefore be claried prior to procurement whether contraindications exist for the user. In general, any type of pain represents a contraindication.
Walking training should not be provided without establishing prior to use whether
the user has an abnormal foot position, which requires medical attention.
2. Product description
2.1 Material informationen
The base frame and the individual elements are made of aluminium which is noncorroding and powder-coated. The lower arm rests are made of PU and the bench
is padded and covered. The cover is made of 100% polyester and are ame resistant (according to DIN EN 1021-1+2).
2.2 Handling / Transport
The posterior walker is not designed to be carried, as it is tted with wheels. Should
you have to carry the equipment due to obstacles, ensure that all moving parts are
tightened. Stand next to the posterior walker, hold on to the left and right handles
and lift it over the obstacle. To transport the posterior walker, fold the frame (see
point 3.9).
The frame of the MARCY Size 0 + 1 cannot be folded! In this case, set everything at its most compact (fold up bench, set handles to lowest setting etc.) Lift
the compact unit by stepping between the frame from the rear and then holding on
to it on the left and right.
