•
Before using the Knee Walker, you should be
trained by a healthcare professional or dealer.
•
Engage the
brake
lock and practice
bending,
reaching and transfers on and off
the Knee

Walker by
yourself until you have been
properly trained,
you have practiced with
someone and you
feel confident you can
maneuver by yourself.
•
The use of the Knee Walker is individual to
the
person. You should develop your own
methods for use based on your personal level
of
function and ability.
•
NEVER attempt a maneuver that has not
been practiced.
•
Be aware of your surroundings when
operating the Knee Walker. Look for hazards
and avoid them.
−
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.
operating the knee walker
The 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.
