Mobility

Condition: New

The images show a steerable knee walker scooter, a popular non-weight-bearing mobility device widely used as an alternative to crutches. It features a black steel or aluminum frame, height-adjustable handlebars with hand brakes, a contoured orthopaedic padded knee cushion, and a four-wheel layout designed for stability.

Typical Diagnostic and Recovery Medical Uses

A knee walker is primarily prescribed or recommended for patients who must maintain absolute non-weight-bearing status on one lower extremity due to medical conditions or post-operative recovery, including:
• Foot and Ankle Fractures: Broken bones such as a fractured talus, calcaneus, or severe metatarsal fractures.
• Tendon Injuries: Recovery following an Achilles tendon rupture or surgical repair.
• Post-Surgical Healing: Bunions, fusion surgeries, ligament reconstructions, or wound care treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.
