Knee Walkers

A knee walker provides so much more  comfort  than crutches while moving, but also when you are standing. Imagine trying to cook or clean while balancing on crutches and keeping your foot elevated: not easy, even for the young and healthy! Now imagine having a knee walker: you can rest your weight on the cushioned knee pad while keeping your foot and ankle elevated without exertion. And your arms and hands are free!

Knee walkers are generally very convenient and foldable for easy travel in a car. If you think you might prefer a different type of mobility assistance, please also consider our selection of wheelchairs and mobility scooters for hire.

Knee walkers are a practical solution for individuals who have suffered a lower leg injury and require mobility assistance. They are designed to take the weight off the injured leg and allow the user to move around with ease. Unlike crutches, which can be difficult and uncomfortable to use, knee walkers offer a more natural and stable form of mobility.

One of the key benefits of a knee walker is that it promotes independence and allows the user to carry out daily tasks more efficiently. With crutches, it can be difficult to carry out simple tasks such as grocery shopping or cooking, as the user's hands are occupied by holding the crutches. A knee walker, on the other hand, leaves the user's hands free to perform these tasks, making it a more practical solution.

Another advantage of a knee walker over crutches is that it is easier to use on uneven surfaces. Crutches can be unstable and pose a risk of falls on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones or gravel. A knee walker, with its large wheels and stable design, can be used on a variety of surfaces with greater ease and safety.
