Jamie –
I’m recovering from hand surgery, and I have pretty bad arthritis everywhere. I’m also facing a knee replacement this year. I tore both achilles tendons recently, but I can only do surgery on one foot at a time. The left foot was worse, so I did surgery on it first. Unfortunately, my right knee is the one that needs a replacement, and the right foot still needs the surgery. I discovered very quickly how difficult it is for me to use crutches. In fact, the crutches cause me severe pain. My hands are still weak following hand surgery, so all my weight is supported with my shoulders and my right foot when I use the crutches. I suspect that I’ve further damaged my right foot, and my shoulders can no longer take the pain. Crutches are just not meant for oIder, arthritic, unhealthy people! I was basically bed bound because of my foot surgery, so someone recommended that I get a knee walker.What a blessing the knee walker had been!!!! I can put a lot of weight on my left knee when I “walk,” thus taking all the pressure off my shoulders and much of it off my right foot that’s still waiting for surgery. Knee walkers are an amazing invention! I did a lot of reading before I purchased this one. There are a few important features that you want to have or want to avoid in a knee walker. Don’t get one with wheels in the back that are too small, and avoid a knee walker that’s too narrow. Otherwise, the walker is more likely to tip over. A padded knee rest is also good to have. Make sure the knee walked can adjust to your height. I’m 5’0″ and this walker barely adjusts to my height. If I’m wearing a shoe, I’m fine. However, if I’m shoeless, my walking foot is tiptoeing. Being short, I often come across problems like this. This knee walker is heavy, but I can still manage to lift it into a car as long as I do it quickly. One important feature that I insisted on having is a basket. Not all knee walkers automatically come with a basket, unless you buy it separately. This walker has a good-sized basket. I can fit my purse in it when I’m off to the doctor’s office, and it can hold many things when I’m wheeling around the house. I have a lot of tight spaces in my house, but the walker maneuvers around very easily. I like that the seat has a gap in the middle so that I can leave the walker still and turn my body sideways and comfortably rest my knee on the seat while brushing my teeth, reaching for something in the cabinets, etc. Although I haven’t needed them much, the brakes seem to work fine.As for assembling the knee walker, I was actually able to do it by myself while sitting on my bed, but someone else had to bring the box up to my bedside and open it. No extra tools are needed to assemble the walker. Some of the closeup pictures in the instruction manual are difficult to understand, but if you look at a picture of the knee walker all put together, you can better understood what the close up pictures are referring to. For anyone in need of crutches, I strongly suggest a knee walker instead, and I highly recommend this specific knee walker!

I needed a knee scooter to get around after having foot surgery and this works great. I was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I love that it has a break locking feature as well as the knee rest having the sideways grove. I do wish that it came with more cable attachments as well as a cushion for the knee rest (even if you have to order it separately).

I received my knee walker in a couple of days it was easy to put together. It was sturdy and the basket I got the metal one and it was easy to put on and it was also sturdy. It moved with a glade and it turns sharply if need be to turn corners. I am glad this was the one to get oh yes I like the cover it comes and the pad itself has a dip in it so your leg sets inside it. The only thing I wished it had was the pad to be a soft more cushioned instead of hard.

It is nicer than I thought it would be for the price. very comfortable seat. Having a basket is a must! extremely easy to put together.The knob holding the steering wheel to body needs to be checked every now and then. it does loosen a bit. its a large knob easily accessible. basically just below the handle bar. it is a large knob, no tools needed. takes two seconds to reach down and twist.cautions – do not overload the basket! it becomes top-heavy and a bit unstable. i.e duffel bag of laundry.I recommend watching a u tube to get the recommended height adjustments.
