I broke my heel and tore my Achilles tendon in two places right before Christmas. Not knowing my insurance would cover a scooter I went to Amazon and purchased the deluxe scooter with the thicker wheels. After trying it out numerous times and almost falling I stopped using it. I ended up going to medical supply store for another reason and they had on display a heavy duty scooter with the thin wheels. It was far more stable than the deluxe model. If you're able to definitely go check scooter out before buying.
Thank you for showing us! My Knee Rover just arrived & I'm trying to figure out efficient ways to get up & down. We have all hardwood or tile floors, so I'm locking the brakes when I get up & down. Appreciate you taking the time for us.
Makes me more open to the surgery I need that will require 8 weeks (!) of no weight. Another scary part, my already weak sometimes really hurting knees will get worse, one from more weight being placed on it, another one from weight being placed in a bent condition🤷🏻♀️
I broke my ankle on 6th June, 2024. I slipped on one of those office chair mats (just like in your office) but it was on vinyl flooring, not carpet. I took one step on it, then with the second step, the mat skid out from under me and I think I sat down on my ankle. Its still a blur. Now 6 weeks post op but have been non weight bearing and keeping it elevated. Sitting, sitting, sitting. I’m not sure I could kneel on my dodgy, arthritic knee to use a scooter….
