" ... So much safer than crutches especially for me and no uncomfortable underarms. ... "
" ... The knee scooter was incredibly helpful to have after ankle surgery. ... I purchased one of those “lamb skin” pads for the knee pad because it isn’t the most comfortable. ... One thing I’d add for folks getting ankle surgery- I have a huge splint wrapped up to my knee. ... Before the anesthesia and nerve block wears off the knee walker is great to get you home after the surgery. ... "
