Knee Walkers

Knee walkers, also known as knee scooters, are mobility aids designed to assist individuals with foot or lower leg injuries in getting around more easily and comfortably. Here are some key points about knee walkers:

• Purpose: Knee walkers are used as an alternative to crutches or traditional walkers for individuals recovering from foot, ankle, or lower leg injuries, surgeries, or conditions that make weight-bearing on the affected leg difficult or painful.
• Design: They typically feature a padded platform to support the injured leg, handlebars for steering and balance, and wheels for mobility. Some models may have adjustable height settings and folding mechanisms for convenient storage and transport.
• Benefits: Knee walkers provide greater stability and maneuverability compared to crutches, allowing users to navigate various indoor and outdoor surfaces more easily. They also help reduce strain on the upper body and improve overall comfort during the recovery process.
• Usage: Users rest their injured leg on the padded platform and propel themselves forward using their unaffected leg, while steering and maintaining balance with the handlebars. Knee walkers are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, depending on the terrain.
• Considerations: When choosing a knee walker, consider factors such as weight capacity, adjustable features, wheel size, and overall stability to ensure it meets your specific needs and preferences.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, an injury, or experiencing mobility challenges, a knee walker can be a valuable tool to help you maintain independence and mobility during the healing process.
