Tango Knee Walker
The Tango Knee Walker, also known as the Knee Scooter, has been designed to offer a comfortable and safe alternative to crutches for people recovering from any foot-related injury or condition. The walker allows the user to be in an upright position, with the injured leg elevated for recovery. Built with large 20cm wheels, it can roll easily over uneven terrain and can effortlessly be manoeuvred in tight spaces. Featuring tool-free adjustments, a brake for added safety, and a comfortable padded knee rest, this is the ideal walking aid for staying active during recovery.
The most common advice medical professionals offer after a broken foot, ankle sprain, or knee injury is to keep the injured area elevated and rest as much as possible. For many of us, staying off our feet isn’t an option: there are household tasks to perform, routine duties at the workplace, and other daily chores that require us to remain mobile.
There was a time when solutions to this problem were uncomfortable medical boots or slow and cumbersome crutches. Thankfully, with the aid of knee scooters/knee walkers, you can easily stay active and productive throughout the day.
5 advantages of the knee walker
Maintain Good Posture
When you use a Knee Walker, you’re staying in a natural upright position, with your shoulders back and your standing leg continuing in a comfortable stride. The often-unnatural contortions that crutches require can cause soreness and stiffness all over the body.
Helps Recovery
As mentioned, one of the first recommendations a doctor will make after a leg or foot injury is to keep it elevated. The Knee Walker provides a comfortable padded seat where you can securely rest your knee, preventing it from bearing weight and protecting it from accidental bumps and scrapes.
Range of Motion
The Knee Walker is a finely tuned, highly versatile device. The handlebars provide reasonable directional control, and walkers such as the all-terrain knee walker can easily cover all surfaces, whether even or uneven, grass, gravel, or dirt. The ease and range of motion will help you feel confident in moving around without worrying about falling over or losing balance, which is one of the main concerns when it comes to crutches.
Helpful Storage
Moving around on one leg is hard enough, even when you don’t have anything to carry. But when you take away free use of your hands as well, it can get tricky. Thankfully, many models of the Knee Walker come equipped with a basket to help you carry around books, groceries and other items while keeping you on the move.
Speed and Ease
Propelled on four wheels, you can cover large distances relatively quickly. One of the great difficulties you’ll face with crutches is the amount of time and effort it takes to walk even small distances. The Knee Walker is fast and efficient and will help you save vital energy for your recovery.
