BodyMed Knee Walker, Steerable for Foot Injuries - Adjustable Scooter with Dual Brakes, Detachable Metal Basket & Cushioned Pad - Better Alternative to Crutches for Leg Recovery

I broke my foot about 10 days ago, and am in the infamous boot, 6 weeks. MRI tomorrow to see if ligaments are damaged and if so, then surgery. But totally hoping not. So this scooter..it's the one the foot orthopedic surgeon I saw recommended. She said I'd love the freedom and protection "zipping around, not worrying about my foot". When she mentioned pavement and sidewalks, I knew she had no clue I live in the country with red clay soil, mud, and every step rough terrain. Regardless, it is worthwhile to have in the house, even with an open floor plan I do alot of 3 point turns..lol. And pick it up in front to turn sometime. I love the basket! Got the wire. Love it came with a fairly comfy seat cover. Though I get a bruised feeling if I use it too long on my knee. Maybe it's because I have knobby knees. Whine whine..really it's so doable and mostly is my best friend right now. No major complaints but highly recommend getting this one if you need a scooter. Just an aside. We have 2 dogs, that are always way in my space and of course could care less I'm lame, so I'm forever telling them to move and also not make me stop fast, wreck, etc. One is 125lb German Shepherd, the other an almost yr old Golden retriever. Adorable, curious, and worried about mom. Not afraid of the scooter at all. I hope I've made it clear this scooter is well worth it and if you have an accident out of the blue like I did, go on and get one. The words "boot, breaks, weeks non weight bearing, and we'll just have to wait and see" are never good, so pull out your phone and order this. You wont regret it. The scooter itself is sturdy, well built and was easy to put together by my partner. He did it in no time. I never feel wobbly, but admittedly try to do too much, carry too much, etc. So sometimes I get off balance but not the scooters fault. I've had more near death experiences with my crutches, so I opt for the scooter. When going out I take the crutches and use the battery scooters where they have them( grocery store). Use crutches when I have to. I haven't taken my scooter out but would if I was going out more. I feel so bad for the reviewers that have really serious injuries. And am truly grateful I will heal. I am a fit 71 yr old very active woman and been a walker, hiker, since 19yrs old. I've appreciated my healthy legs forever and don't take for granted I'm so healthy . So don't think I'm whining when I say this scooter hasn't been a life saver that allows me to effortlessly do house chores and life things. But given I have to comply and want to.get well, it's a great thing to have and didn't break the bank. I appreciate my Dr recommending it so I wouldn't have to wade through so many out there, or spend wads of $$.

I have been using this knee cart for a month and have two more weeks to go. It has been well used and bounced around mostly indoors with a few outdoor trips. It is well made and has held up well. While they are hard plastic, the tires roll easily and with a small amount of effort will get over bumps and dips easily. We even have a step up on part of our deck and I can get up and down it fairly easily. Pros: Strong, great design, comfortable, rolls easily, lot's of adjustment with large knobs to tighten things up. The basket proved to be extremely useful and is easy to clean. Also very easy to assemble with a good range of adjustment. I am 6'-3" and had no problem with the available height. Cons: Occasionally needs to be tightened, but the knobs are large and this is easily done. The holes in the seat and handle bar where the bolt goes through opened up a little through use and have some play in them. For myself this was not a big thing. Overall for the price you are getting a fantastic deal. When I am done I will donate this as I am certain it has a lot of use left in it.

This knee scooter has been a god-send after breaking my ankle. By the second full day of using crutches I knew there had to be a less painful and more sturdy and stable way to get around so I ordered this scooter. It arrived 2 days later. It was a breeze to put together (you can YouTube an assembly video for your specific model or used the enclosed directions). I have been using this as my primary means of getting around for the last 8 days and it has made my life a whole lot easier and much less painful. Both the handlebar and the knee pad itself can be adjusted for height. The handlebars are comfortable and the brakes are easily accessible and easy to lock in place. The frame is very sturdy and there is a clamp at the base of the handlebars where you can quickly release the vertical bar and push it back towards the knee pad to make it smaller and easier to transport in or put in the trunk of the car. And I LOVE the knee pad as it has an indent to accommodate the leg (or booted leg) making it comfortable and secure. It has an additional indent going from bone side of the knee pad to the other side you can easily stand in front of a table, mirror, sink, etc. and equally distribute your weight between both legs for more normal alignment of the hips while doing tasks requiring standing. This unit is offered with either a bag or a wire mesh basket that can be attached to the front. I chose the wire basket for ease of access and cleaning and it is an absolutely Indispensable addition, allowing me to easily bring along, toiletries, clothes, etc. as I move from one task to the next. Only thing I find you have to careful about is when coming up to any raised thresholds, small pebbles, cracks, etc, remember to lightly lift the front wheels so they don’t catch. 100% recommend this unit! Still need crutches (for stairs or very tight spots) but this unit works great both inside and outside (parking lots, sidewalks, smooth paved trails and roads) and has been a game-changer for me!
