knee scooter

Injury mobility device

A knee scooter is a wheeled mobility device used when one leg cannot bear weight due to injury or surgery.

The user kneels on a padded platform with the injured leg while pushing with the good foot, offering more mobility than crutches: She got around on a knee scooter after her ankle surgery.
