Knee Scooter Sizing and Use: Knee Walker Demonstration

Buy on Amazon - amzn.to/2SiYlFZ
www.PhysicalTherapy101.net - This video demonstrates the sizing, use, and application of a Knee Walker. This Knee Walker also known as a "Knee Scooter," can be used for non-weight bearing patients who prefer not to use crutches. Specifically, this is helpful in instances such as foot surgery recovery. This is used before a person is allowed to begin strengthening after a leg injury. Patients who have had surgery due to an ankle injury may also qualify to use this piece of walking equipment.

Cheers! Have been informed I will be using a knee scooter during ankle recovery so was good to see how it works

[@mttrapper]

I have a Roscoe knee scooter. It functions well except for one very important aspect; the brake lock. To lock the scooter wheels the brake handle must be pushed forward. I got distracted and forgot to lock the brake. When I was transferring from my walker to the scooter, the scooter shot forward when I put my weight on it and I reinjured my foot after surgery.
A better design would be to make the brake lock the default and pull the brake lever to release the brake lock. That way every time you release the lever the brake lock is set.

Thank you! Got my knee scooter yesterday and today have bruises all over my shin. The instructions did not mention the best height, so had things too high and probably more pressure put on my shin than should have.

It looks like the Swivelmate. I rented a Swivelmate to put weight off my injured foot (healing from a grade 2 sprained ankle). I can use it only minimally because my leg tends to hurt from the pad. I am ordering a comfy cushion so my shin doesn't hurt when I use it. It is really good for times when I am cleaning kitchen counters, table, etc.

What if you are wearing a tall boot, not an ankle boot?

[@Rob-xz6uv]

That is no problem - it still works the same when wearing a full boot.
