 Works well at first..then the brake fails and then the wheel post Nov 13, 2010
By Harry
PLEASE READ TO THE END (hopeful ending). When we first got the product, it worked well. My wife used it to temporarily get around until she healed. We bought the unit on 9-23-2010. It was a Godsend. Crutches made life miserable. The knee walker gave her mobility. The only down side was it doesn't steer. She had to lift to turn. This may not have been all bad -- this help build upper body strength. Unfortunately, on 11-5-2010 the brakes fail. That is, the lever that pivots the pull cable broke (NOT THE CABLE ITSELF). The brake handle pivot pin didn't fail. The metal handle broke into two pieces -- a triangular piece secured by the pivot pin and the rest of the brake handle. The brake is CRITICAL going down steep ramps. This makes this unit somewhat dangerous under steep ramp condition due to a roll-away condition. This story gets worse. Despite this danger, my wife continued to use it by avoiding steep inclines. However, on 11-11-2010, the push pins caps that secure the right rear wheel failed. These caps snap into a tube position to secure the wheel in position and from turning inside the tube. Now this wheel drags not unlike the mars rover. For the record, we didn't abuse the unit. We never dropped the unit on it's brake handle. The unit was configured for the left leg. However, despite it being beyond the return date, I got authorization for a full refund. Finally, it appears the model knee walker hand brake grip is different from the one I got. In the product picture, the brake grip is jet black and in a different style. My brake grip was shiny aluminum. It appears their newer model may have fixed this grip problem. I have bought this issue to the attention of DRIVE, knee walker distributer. They will get the returned unit and hopefully fix future products. I hope so.

 Much better than crutches or walkers! Sep 14, 2009
By Cheryl T. Dodd
I had foot reconstruction that required me to be completely off of my foot for at least 8 weeks, and I also have severe arthritis all over the place, and I dreaded using a walker during recovery. I ordered the junior sized knee walker because I am a short adult. This knee walker is the best mobility aid I've ever used!!! I am able to get around without problems in my house and in most public places with ease. I also draw lots of attention from people in public who want to know where I got the walker because they all know someone who could really use one. The only drawback to using this walker is that you cannot safely navigate stairs or any surface other than flat ground, but you probably shouldn't be navigating these conditions while you're recovering anyway! :) If you're on the fence about trying this device, don't hesitate to get one!

Threw my hip off. Oct 31, 2010
By DGE
Though sturdy and safe-feeling, this knee scooter seems to have been engineered for people 5'7" or taller in mind. I am 5'4 1/2," not particularly short for a woman. I had to stand on tippy-toes with the pushing leg in order not to tilt my left hip up (left foot was in cast) 2-3", resulting in sharp hip and back pain. After about nine days of the knee walker, I had to to to the less preferable crutches. I do not recommend this scooter for people under about 5'7".

Knee Walker Review Dec 15, 2010
By Proud to be in Cleveland w/o Lebron
This is not worth the money. It is very hard to maneuver because the front wheels are stationary. I have to pick up the front while using it to turn a corner. It is worthless! It should tell you that the front wheels are stationary before you purchase it. It didn't deserve any stars, but I had to click on one star to get this message through.

knee walker Dec 14, 2010
By GeorgeP
This item literally "saved my life"!!! I could not afford to buy one retail locally as the cost was prohibitive. I could not walk on crutches as I kept falling and they hurt my arms and my hip on the opposite side of my ankle surgery. I was afraid that I would end up crippled from the pain in my hip and got very depressed since I was not able to "get around" or get out of the house. The one time I went out (with crutches) I went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Just walking to the back of the store wore me out. On the way back to the checkout one of the crutches slipped out from under me on a wet floor and I destroyed an entire display of christmas items. Fortunately I was not injured,,,,,other than my pride. Now with this new DRIVE MEDICAL UNIVERSAL KNEE WALKER I don't have to lie around all day and I can get around the house and even out to the stores for Christmas shopping. I'm only 30 years old and was so depressed about being immobile for six weeks. I called my Doctor and told him about my new "Knee Walker" and he had never even heard of one. THANK YOU DRIVE. This product was the answer to my prayers. When I am done with it I am going to donate it to anyone who has a lower leg injury! PS>.no tools required. I had it assembled in about 10 minutes!
