Knee Walkers
Knee Walkers
Knee Walkers also called "Knee Scooters" are an effective crutch alternative for individuals who have suffered a lower leg injury and wish to stay mobile while they recover from their injury.
Benefits of Using a Knee Walker
Following foot or ankle surgery or injury your doctor will recommend you put no weight on it. This means that you will either have to use crutches, a wheelchair, or knee scooter. While crutches are effective at keeping the weight off your injury they can also be uncomfortable, limit your independence, and put a lot of strain on your arms. When you use a knee walker all of your weight is supported by your shin eliminating the need to use your arms in order to support your weight. In addition a knee walker allows you to effortlessly cruise around your home, office, or yard giving you back your independence.
- Independence
- No More Crutches
- Effortlessly get around your home and office

It is always a good idea to contact your insurance provider directly and ask if they cover knee walkers under your policy.
