Roll A Bout

Roll a bout is another name used for a knee walker. People who can not freely move around due to an ankle or foot injury often use a knee walker to assist them in getting from place to place. Knee walkers are a safe alternative to crutches during the healing and rehabilitation process of a foot or ankle injury.

How Do I Use It?

Using a roll a bout is as easy as riding a toy scooter. Those who have decided to use a roll about to assist them in getting from place to place will find that it's easy and painless. To properly use the knee walker, place the knee of your injured leg on the raised knee pad in the center of the roll a bout. Making sure that you are grasping the handle bars firmly, place your uninjured foot level on the floor and balance your self. Using the same motion that you would to push a skateboard or scooter, push off from the floor in the direction you wish to travel. The knee walker should respond by rolling forward.

Some have claimed that using a roll a bout is so fun that they aren't even aware that they have an injury. You can ride knee walkers just about anywhere.

Get Back To Work

Every now and then we are forced to miss work due to illness or personal injury. During these times we can become frustrated and even bored while we nurse ourselves back to health. Not being able to move about freely is often the main reason people miss work during the healing of an ankle or foot injury. With a roll a bout you can get back to work much faster. Getting around the office is easy and pain free when you are rolling around on a knee walker. Knee walkers are useful for those in almost any profession. Doctors and nurses can use them to travel from room to room checking on patients. Store clerks can relax as they cruise from aisle to aisle checking shelves and items. Knee walkers are convenient and help so many people get back on their feet to do the things they need or want to get done.

Alternative to Crutches

Crutches can cause the user a lot of pain if used over a long period of time. Injured people who use crutches are forced to balance their weight in awkward positions while carrying themselves on the crutches. After an extended period of time, those who are using crutches can begin to suffer from neck, back and shoulder pain caused from putting strain on their upper body in order to stay balanced. Also, some people develop tenderness or sores under their arm from the crutch rubbing against them. When you use a roll a bout, you can move around with ease and without pain.
