Go slow! |
This is a great improvement over crutches but be careful. You can easily get too comfortable with the mobility. I am 6'4" and this makes this walker center of gravity fairly high. I have fallen twice given the high center of gravity and the very narrow rear axle. Once you start to fall over the direction of the injured leg, there is no stopping. It would be helpful if the rear axle could be widened, particularly on the outbound side where your injury is. |

Great product & service |
At the suggestion of my surgeon I rented a northrup knee walker to help my recovery from fusion surgery on three joints. It made it so easy to get around vs. crutches or walker. I returned it once I was weight bearing, a month later I went back to non weight bearing thanks to a stress fracture. I literally called while my cast was being fitted and knee walker central kindly shipped it out for arrival the next day (a Saturday). I'm so grateful. Plus the person I spoke with showed empathy. Having been through a ten week recovery, facing four more, the kindness was appreciated. Thank you! |
Great Device |
This device saved my life, instead of killing my shoulder with a dinosauric crutch I was strolling around like a happy biker. Thank you Knee Walker Central. |
Better than expected |
This proved to be a nifty little device. It helped me more than I expected after my doctor recommended it to me. I like to spend a lot of time outdoors and this walker helped me do exactly that. The pad was comfortable and it’s incredibly easy to steer. My only real complaint is that I didn’t know about it when I was recovering from a broken ankle 5 years ago. |
Great waterproof cast cover |
I rented the Northrup Knee Walker after I severely injured my foot in a car accident. I really like the way the makers of this product really thought of everything. I particularly enjoyed the waterproof cast cover, as it made it MUCH easier than I thought to take a shower. I’ve never been injured before this and am not used to equipment like this, but it was easy to assemble and use. It made my life much easier when my foot was recovering and I’ve been telling everyone about it! |
