Michigan Foot Doctors I’m getting a knee scooter I broke my ankle and had plates and screws put in on October 1st

@MsDancingdolphin 3 жыл бұрын

Just had a knee scooter delivered today after fracturing my ankle. Have had surgery, plate and screws, now in a fibreglass cast until 1st June, then probably an aircast boot. Crutches were a complete fail and my zimmer frame is slow and cumbersome, so I'm trying this. Gave it a brief go earlier, feels very strange and I need practice, but looking forward to scooting about everywhere.

I got mine for an upcoming left foot surgery, I'm having fusion.

Pay attention to the steering: cheap knee scooters can tip over. The Knee Rover has a steering system that won't let the unit tip over.

I know this is an old video however knee scooters are PERFECT for indoor use! If you need to stay off your foot, a walker is not going to allow that. A knee scooter allows that.

If you have a Rancher style home with a long hallway in addition to hardwood floors throughout your house that need scooter is awesome

I couldn’t use the scooter-I had grey boot -all way to knee. it was unstable for me-due to the plastic boot/it was to slippery for me.

Great video, I wish I would have watched this before I ordered my knee scooter. What scooter with all-terrain tires would you recommend? I broke my foot and I'd like to go back to the office and the scooter I purchased doesn't perform well over gravel or crossing the street.

I got a BodyMed all terrain knee scooter and it’s great. Good for cracked concrete, door lintels, uneven terrain. Little pricey but worth it.

Get an Iwalk. I tried both crutches and a knee walker and neither comes close to the mobility of the Iwalk. Being able to use stairs is a game changer.

I have a would that hasn't healed all the way. So I want to go to this festival and the doctor told me to get a knee scooter. It hurts my leg where the wound is on my foot.

Bunion surgery - the big toe gets a screw in it , the doctor said NO weight bearing on that foot WOW it's for an elderly person there a balance problem - what she was told of the screw gets loosened it will have to be redone were searching for the bed solution to mauve in the house in the middle of the night safely

I am 70 yrs. old, was in a very bad car accident. The doctors had to repair my whole foot bones, and heal. Just started to walk again, i have a walker. But in the video, you say healthy young people, so can this knee walker work for my age? thanks

@DrTomBiernacki 3 жыл бұрын

In general if balance and strength issues, tipping over is for sure a concern. A walker or wheelchair may be a safer option. But age is just a number, its all about how you do with it!

are they okay for a 75 year old?

We really appreciate that you came to us for help and we really wish we could help and see you in person. Unfortunately there are rules preventing an answer online, and this could be dangerous to your without having specific information. A problem of this nature really does require a proper history and physical. By getting non-specific advice online, it really can make your problem worse. For a problem this complex and with so many variables, you really would benefit most from seeing a podiatrist in person. Thank you so much for being a fan and we hope to make better and more educational videos in the future!

In British Columbia, Canada (a universal health care country), rolling knee scooters are not covered. I am paying $45 PER WEEK to rent one. Not a happy camper.

@DrTomBiernacki 4 жыл бұрын

It's not really covered in USA either, 75% of insurances sneak it into some later copay or coinsurance fee

@johnferry9508 7 ай бұрын

Medicare doesn’t cover knee scooters. I called Medicare personally. You can rent them but they’re 130 per month!

@DrTomBiernacki 7 ай бұрын

Correct, things are getting worse every year. You can buy a scooter for less than the rental price. Welcome to health care in America!

Do you prefer the wheelchair currently?

Michigan Foot Doctors I haven’t gotten my scooter yet I had spinal cord injury in 2008 so my legs are pretty weak so using my regular walker tires me out fast so I prefer my wheelchair to using my walker
