Why Use a Knee Scooter?
- < go back to the Learning Center
- Knee walkers provide freedom of movement for patients with below the knee injuries while continuously supporting the injured leg in a proper non-weight bearing position. This unique design ensures the injured leg is elevated and reduces the chance of placing weight on the foot and re-injuring it.
Using a knee walker rather than crutches or a wheelchair allows patients to enjoy greater mobility and stay involved with their daily lives with fewer limitations. Knee walkers require less upper body strength, keep the user in a natural up-right position and are easy to use.
Knee walkers offer significant advantages over traditional crutches, especially during the initial weeks of recovery after surgery. Here are some benefits of using a knee walker: -
