Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My wife had a foot operation . 2 bone grafts several pins and screws which require 6 to 8 weeks in a cast . She used the knee walker for 2 weeks now . Due to national security issue my wifes age and weight can not be discussed but I 56 and weigh 225 lbs and its plenty strong for me .
I think some of the bad reviews are due to not understand the proper application of this device . It's for a leg with a cast below the knee. Its not a standard walker. The front wheel are suppose to swivel 360 degrees.
We live in a very small house (1000 sq foot ) hard wood floors thin Asian rugs and semi long shag in the bedroom several washable throw rugs on tile floors its working well in all areas. The only thing I can say it the turning radius is a bit large but we are in small house . My wife has zero dexterity on crutches if she would have used them for the last 2 week she probably have a broken arm . We carried it in the car ( it collapses flat so don't tie wrap the basket to the frame cause it would have to be removed ) used it in the total hospital application elevators and garages works fine . Uphill in subterranean garages is not easy but can be done using the brake (so drop off at lobby and park downhill from the elevator in the garage )
You cant say there is any assembly required you remove the plastic cover from the tires .You adjust the leg length (to users height) using 2 pushbutton on each leg . A very civilized little device . I built a wheelchair ramp to connect the front porch to city sidewalk (first week ) first thing she did as I was showing her my work was blast down it like a kid on a skateboard the point I trying to make is I think the walker has improved her moral overall by increased and simplified mobility as compared to crutches .
