Rolleraid knee walker...after I say these words most people look at me with strange looks on their faces. It's not everyday that you see somebody with a RollerAid or other rolleraid knee walker, so I don't blame them for being "confused" when I tell them the name.
Most of the time people say something like, "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Where did you find it?!"
I even have to let people take a spin on it before they leave me alone!
So what exactly is a knee walker and why has it helped me and thousands of others?
Well a knee walker or device is like a little knee scooter you put your knee on and you steer around as you push with your other leg. It is used for lower leg and foot injuries for people who are sick and tired of crutches.
In fact these little leg caddy type devices are very helpful and incredibly easy to use, but most people don't know about them. In fact even if you know about them there are only a couple places to rent or purchase one.
So if your doctor recommends a knee walker or RollerAid make sure to check one out. Most insurance companies will cover the cost to purchase or rent one and they can be found online and shipped anywhere in the United States.
Before choosing which device is right for you, you may want to do some research about how adjustable and mobile you need your knee walker to be. Some units steer (highly recommended) and some units don't (cheaper but less mobile and a pain in the rear).
So do some research and make sure to try one of these crazy new devices while you laugh at your crutches. I promise you will thank me!
