Knee walkers substitute for crutches and help with people recovering from foot surgery, brakes, sprains, ulcers and amputations. Adult knee walkers are also known as leg walkers. Knee walkers for children or short individuals are also available and are know as Junior Knee Walkers. Patients using the knee walker, kneel with one leg on the cushioned knee pad and use the other leg to propel the walker forward. Most knee walkers or leg walkers come with 4 to 8 inch wheels to easily maneuver around or over obstacles. Many of these walkers are adjustable to accommodate the needs of the individual patient. Some are equipped with safety brakes and others are steerable. Get your leg walker at Vitality Medical today! |
