The Graham-Field Lumex Knee Walker is a four-wheeled rolling medical device that helps to support the user's leg in a relaxed, non-weight-bearing position while allowing him to be mobile without the use of crutches.
The smooth-rolling knee walker is ideal for use with individuals who have suffered a foot or leg injury or who are recovering from foot surgery, sprains, Achilles injuries, a broken foot, or ankle injuries. The knee scooter works in correlation with the body's natural balance instead of the hunched, tense posture promoted by the use of crutches. Using crutches requires upper body strength and balance control whereas the Lumex Knee Walker requires minimal upper body strength while also providing safe and comfortable mobility for individuals with poor balance issues.
The knee walker helps to reduce post-surgery muscle atrophy since it demands the use of both legs in order to maintain balance. The knee walker can also provide mental well-being in helping to reduce melancholy and depression by promoting safe and comfortable mobility and allowing the user to follow their daily routines as much as possible.
This compact but sturdy knee walker has a strong durable aluminum frame that will safely provide an evenly distributed 300-pound maximum weight capacity. The deluxe, contoured, padded polyurethane knee and shin support offer the ultimate comfort by keeping the injured leg constantly in a realized position, making it ideal for moving around the house or long outdoor walks without becoming over-exerted.
The large and robust 8-inch polyurethane casters are non-marking and allow easy maneuverability both indoors and out and the easy to use handles allows the knee walker to safely turn in a tight radius. The braking system located on the handgrip allows for a quick stopping or an extended coasting stop.
For added safety and comfort, the Lumex Knee Walker includes a built-in shock absorber designed to provide a smooth and safe ride by absorbing shock impulses from the uneven pavement during mobility.
The handle and knee pad are tool-free height adjustable that can accommodate a variety of user heights and the knee walker is available in three color choices of black, apple red, or purple.
Included with the knee walker is a removable and convenient front storage pouch that is ideal for the storage of work or personal items.
The knee walker has a 3-year lifetime limited warranty and is designed to meet the E0118 crutch substitute requirements.
