Just had a knee scooter delivered today after fracturing my ankle. Have had surgery, plate and screws, now in a fibreglass cast until 1st June, then probably an aircast boot. Crutches were a complete fail and my zimmer frame is slow and cumbersome, so I'm trying this. Gave it a brief go earlier, feels very strange and I need practice, but looking forward to scooting about everywhere.
I know this is an old video however knee scooters are PERFECT for indoor use! If you need to stay off your foot, a walker is not going to allow that. A knee scooter allows that.
Great video, I wish I would have watched this before I ordered my knee scooter. What scooter with all-terrain tires would you recommend? I broke my foot and I'd like to go back to the office and the scooter I purchased doesn't perform well over gravel or crossing the street.
So which scooters are recommended? There is no list. I live in tight spaces and need one durable forni side outside. They are NOT cheap. MediCal doesnt cover them either.
Hello, thank you for posting this. I am using a knee scooter and am having problems with muscle pain in left upper theigh in the inside. How or what can I do to make this not so painfull. I am tempted to walk on my no weight bearing foot instead. Any ideas will be appriciated. Thank you, Caryl

I am 70 yrs. old, was in a very bad car accident. The doctors had to repair my whole foot bones, and heal. Just started to walk again, i have a walker. But in the video, you say healthy young people, so can this knee walker work for my age? thanks
In general if balance and strength issues, tipping over is for sure a concern. A walker or wheelchair may be a safer option. But age is just a number, its all about how you do with it!
Get an Iwalk. I tried both crutches and a knee walker and neither comes close to the mobility of the Iwalk. Being able to use stairs is a game changer.
I have a would that hasn't healed all the way. So I want to go to this festival and the doctor told me to get a knee scooter. It hurts my leg where the wound is on my foot.

Bunion surgery - the big toe gets a screw in it , the doctor said NO weight bearing on that foot WOW it's for an elderly person there a balance problem - what she was told of the screw gets loosened it will have to be redone were searching for the bed solution to mauve in the house in the middle of the night safely
In British Columbia, Canada (a universal health care country), rolling knee scooters are not covered. I am paying $45 PER WEEK to rent one. Not a happy camper.
I like my wheelchair it’s lightweight probably going to be lighter than knee scooter wheelchair weighs 11 pounds wheels on its made by ti lite but can’t wait for my scooter
Michigan Foot Doctors I haven’t gotten my scooter yet I had spinal cord injury in 2008 so my legs are pretty weak so using my regular walker tires me out fast so I prefer my wheelchair to using my walker

Michigan Foot Doctors I’m getting a knee scooter I broke my ankle and had plates and screws put in on October 1st

I got mine for an upcoming left foot surgery, I'm having fusion.
Pay attention to the steering: cheap knee scooters can tip over. The Knee Rover has a steering system that won't let the unit tip over.
I know this is an old video however knee scooters are PERFECT for indoor use! If you need to stay off your foot, a walker is not going to allow that. A knee scooter allows that.
I've developed sore hands and wrists using a walker. It's bad am borrowing a scooter worry that it will also hurt hands. Suggestions?
I'm have ankle fusion and will be non weight bearing for three months can you suggest a scooter for inside the home and going to doctors appointment
Can i use this if i got a surgery 6 weeks ago? I have a rod n screws in my tibia and my fibula is broken
Great video, I wish I would have watched this before I ordered my knee scooter. What scooter with all-terrain tires would you recommend? I broke my foot and I'd like to go back to the office and the scooter I purchased doesn't perform well over gravel or crossing the street.
I got a BodyMed all terrain knee scooter and it’s great. Good for cracked concrete, door lintels, uneven terrain. Little pricey but worth it.
So which scooters are recommended? There is no list. I live in tight spaces and need one durable forni side outside. They are NOT cheap. MediCal doesnt cover them either.

How are you doing now Pamela
If you have a Rancher style home with a long hallway in addition to hardwood floors throughout your house that need scooter is awesome

Can you help me with my ankle problem right behind my ankle it hurts it hurts ever since I was a baby but I never thought anything about it

I couldn’t use the scooter-I had grey boot -all way to knee. it was unstable for me-due to the plastic boot/it was to slippery for me.
are they okay for a 75 year old?

Bunion surgery - the big toe gets a screw in it , the doctor said NO weight bearing on that foot WOW
it's for an elderly person there a balance problem - what she was told of the screw gets loosened it will have to be redone
were searching for the bed solution to mauve in the house in the middle of the night safely
How about for a Button surgery
Medicare doesn’t cover knee scooters. I called Medicare personally. You can rent them but they’re 130 per month!
Correct, things are getting worse every year. You can buy a scooter for less than the rental price. Welcome to health care in America!
I got minds off facebook market a new one for $50.00. Having surgery February 19 next week.
In British Columbia, Canada (a universal health care country), rolling knee scooters are not covered. I am paying $45 PER WEEK to rent one. Not a happy camper.
It's not really covered in USA either, 75% of insurances sneak it into some later copay or coinsurance fee
I like my wheelchair it’s lightweight probably going to be lighter than knee scooter wheelchair weighs 11 pounds wheels on its made by ti lite but can’t wait for my scooter
Excelllent!
Do you prefer the wheelchair currently?
Michigan Foot Doctors I haven’t gotten my scooter yet I had spinal cord injury in 2008 so my legs are pretty weak so using my regular walker tires me out fast so I prefer my wheelchair to using my walker
Don't use them
Do you use the iwalk?
