Knee walker rovides 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 walker has a cushion to
support both the injured leg and the ankle to make
certain that no weight will be placed on the lower
leg. Designed for easy steering and stopping.
Brakes included.
1. With brake applied, place injured leg on knee pad
centered side to side and positioned forward, to
cover the full length of the knee pad.
2. With injured leg on knee pad, stand as straight as
possible. Adjust the height of the knee walker pad
as necessary.
3. With injured foot pointing down, the propulsion
leg should be kept as close as possible to the knee
pad.

while concentrating on keeping the leg next to the
knee pad. With practice, you should be more
comfortable with moving forward without deviating
to the opposite side.
