Walking aid for below-the-knee injuries.
For patients recovering from a fracture, an operation requiring weight to be taken off the foot, or a diabetic foot wound that requires “off loading” to heal, a knee walker can help ease the pain and frustration during recovery.
“While crutches and wheelchairs have benefited my patients, they do have shortcomings. Crutches can be awkward and unsteady and wheelchairs are not only heavy, but bulky. This causes frustration and prevents optimal outcomes.”
-Dr. Lowell Weil Jr.
Added benefits
- Eliminate the strain crutches can put on underarms
