Knee scooter

[1] Over the years, it has taken on many forms—from small-wheeled devices suitable for indoor use, to larger, sturdier units capable of use outside on grass or paved surfaces.

Today’s version is usually a lightweight, foldable design that, with the knee flexed, supports the shin of the unusable limb.

The objective of the scooter is to create a safe, comfortable, and easy-to-maneuver alternative to the traditional crutch.

As knee scooters are often used while the user recovers after surgery, they are often rented for a short period of time, usually about four weeks.

Due to complexities, costs of renting (if the injury is longer than typical), and possible inconvenience of return, some choose to simply purchase this product instead.
