Benefits of a Steerable Knee Walker A steerable knee walker allows a suitable user to rest one lower leg on a padded platform while moving with the opposite leg. The handlebar and steering column help control direction, while the folding frame can make transportation and storage easier. A knee walker requires balance, coordination and the ability to operate its steering and braking controls. Customers should confirm suitability with an appropriate healthcare professional when uncertain. Typical Features Steerable front wheel design Padded knee platform Adjustable handlebar and knee-platform height Hand-operated braking and parking mechanism Folding frame for transportation and storage Front storage basket on many models Suitable for appropriate indoor and firm outdoor surfaces Models, wheel types, measurements, weight capacities and features vary. Call 403-663-8777 if particular specifications are required. Important Use and Safety Information A knee walker is generally intended for a user who can safely place the affected lower leg on the padded platform and propel with the opposite leg. It may not be suitable for knee injuries, balance limitations or situations where the user cannot safely operate the brakes and steering. Follow the advice of the user’s healthcare professional. Use the knee walker only on appropriate surfaces and within the specifications of the available model. Correct Knee Placement on the Pad Place the knee toward the front-to-middle section of the padded platform, so the user’s weight is positioned over the platform’s central support post. Do not place excessive weight on the rear edge of the knee pad. Loading the back of the platform can cause it to bend backward or damage its supporting components. The knee walker is not designed to be used as a seat. Before use, adjust the knee-pad height so the user can remain balanced and move comfortably without leaning heavily on the rear of the platform.
