Knee Walker
October 15, 2010
If you decide to purchase a knee walker for a long term injury or perhaps after an amputation, remember that you are getting a durable mobility assistance device that will give you the ability to remain active.
A knee walker is sometimes also referred to as a roll about, but what this innovative device does is gives folks an alternative to crutches which can be cumbersome and uncomfortable. With a knee walker, you place the knee of the injured leg on the rest that is mounted on top of the knee walker‘s frame and then you push off with the good leg to roll about.
Most models come with steering and all have some form of braking for safe navigation indoors or out. Again a knee walker can be purchased by those needing one for the long term but many opt for a knee walker rental if the recovery time is shorter.
