Superb alternative to crutches, the Knee Walker
The Drive Knee Walker is a mobility device that provides strength and comfort to anyone who may have an injury below the knee. It allows an even distribution of body weight by supporting half of the weight on the device and the other half on the non-injured leg. The device has a cushioned platform to support both the injured leg and ankle to make certain that no weight will be placed on the lower leg.
The device is designed for easy steering and stopping. Brakes are also featured on this device for controlled movement and safety.

How you'll use this:
-
Placement of injured leg on pad should be centered side to side and positioned forward to cover the full length of pad.
-
With injured leg on pad, stand as straight as possible (adjust the height of the Knee Walker as necessary).
-
With injured foot pointing down, the propulsion leg should be maintained as close as possible to the pad.
-
While on your toes, start out with small steps with propulsion leg. Concentrate on keeping that leg next to the pad. With practice, you should be able to move forward without deviating to the opposite side.
