Crutch Replacement
A knee walker makes a great crutch replacement for those who are suffering from a foot or ankle injury and cannot use regular crutches or walkers. Walkers do nothing to keep the injured person from putting weight on their injury and crutches can throw a person off balance and cause falls. A knee walker helps to eliminate potential falls and further damage to the foot or ankle.
What is a Knee Walker?
A knee walker, also commonly referred to as a knee cruiser, is a scooter-like device designed to provide assisted mobility to anyone who is nursing a foot or ankle injury back to health. Knee walkers make a great crutch replacement for those who have trouble maintaining balance. A knee walker provides full support of the injured leg and prevents the injured person from putting weight on the foot or ankle.
With a knee walker, those who have lost the use of one of their legs due to a foot or ankle injury can enjoy assisted mobility during the healing process. This means injured people can get back to doing the things they love much sooner. The assisted mobility of a knee walker can mean getting back to work sooner, enjoying a relaxing vacation or just doing daily chores without the hassle of using crutches.
