®
Tucane ® “Your Third Hip” is an advanced walking assistant that emulates a hip. It is a new innovative
concept that substitutes conventional canes. The Tucane ® advanced cane system assists the user to walk in
a correct, straight and comfortable way, reducing and avoiding back pain caused by incorrect posture.
When the user walks, Tucane ® moves forward with your leg with the use of the springs located in the grip
handle of the device. The user can adjust Tucane ® to its exact height.
The Tucane ® shoe tip will automatically adjust while the user walks, simulating the ankle’s joint. The tip is
made of a special anti-slip rubber, and a patented design with shock absorbers designed to absorb impact
and vibration with the ground.
The Tucane ® soft-rubber handle and shock-absorbing design reduces the impact of the dierent anatomi-
cal structures of the hand, elbow, and shoulder, while preventing inammation of the joints.
Tucane® not only is the most advanced cane system available on the market, but it is also the most innova-
tive aesthetic design in the cane industry.

Instructions
How to Use Tucane:
Tucane® comes in three sizes; Small, Medium, and Large.Please choose your
specific Tucane® according to your height. To adjust the height of the Tucane®, a
ring and secure button are located on the lower shaft of the cane.
Loosen the ring by rotating it counter-clockwise, and then press the button to
extend or shorten the cane to the desired height, as seen in the picture. The
cane’s handle must reach the hip. Once set, please release the button to the
closest hole and turn the ring clockwise to close.
Please observe that the handle has an anatomic profile for the user’s comfort. On
the grip’s top, there is a special hump that is designed for the user’s handgrip. The
bottom of the grip also has two grooves for the fingers.

Please grab the handle a shown in the picture.It is important to understand that
one of the main advantages of the Tucane® cane system is the fact that it pro-
motes an adequate stand during gait or walking. Please stand straight
with the shoulders at the same height.
Please grab the handle a shown in the picture.
The handle must be close to your hip, as shown on the picture.
With the Tucane® in the right position, please flex the index fingers as shown in
the picture. Please do not press the other fingers or the hand over the handle. Do
not pull or raise the Tucane®. Keep your arms in a 20 to 30 degree angle.
When the user starts walking, the leg that moves first should be the one in the
same side of the body as the Tucane®. The cane has an automatic spring system
on the handle that pushes the cane forward as the user walks, without much
force. The cane will advance with the user’s limb by just lifting it from the ground
and releasing the pressure on the handle. (Remember: the Tucane® should always
be next to the hip.) Repeat the cycle and remember to stand straight while looking
forward, not to the floor. Avoid sliding your feet over the ground while you
move forward.
