OPERATING THE KNEE WALKER
The Dynarex 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.
• 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.

• Lift the locking lever so that it is inside
the locking lever groove. If the locking
lever is too short and can not enter
the groove, rotate the locking lever
to elongate.
• Once the locking lever is in an upright
position, turn it 90 degrees so it locks into
place.

• Engage the lock and practice bending,
reaching and transfers on and off the
Knee Walker. DO NOT use 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.
• Contact your provider if any parts are
loose or show excessive wear.
• Do not operate on loose gravel or uneven
surfaces.
• Do not travel over large cracks or
fissures.

• Stop and move forward slowly when
encountering cracks or separations in
walkway surfaces.
• Do not operate in excess of 3 miles per
hour (slow-to-moderate walking speed).
• Do not turn unless one foot is on the
ground.
• Never make a sharp turn at high speed.
• Do not turn at speeds over 1 mph
(very slow walking speed).
• Do not operate on inclines above
15 degrees (slight incline).
• Do not travel over drops or barriers
such as curbs or parking stops.
• This is a medical device, not a toy. Do
not allow children or adults to use this
as a toy or for entertainment.
• Always check the fasteners on the
handlebar post, wheels, brakes, and
pad for tightness before use.
