Knee Scooters
If you are recovering from a foot or ankle injury, crutches or a wheelchair are a common choice when it comes to helping you walk or get around while you heal. Knee scooters are a unique alternative to crutches, and many people prefer them when it comes to ease of use and smooth mobility. A knee scooter is a rolling device that lets you rest your lower leg on the knee pad. This keeps your foot elevated so you're not putting weight on it, and you can get around easily without using a lot of upper body strength. In addition to the easier usage, knee scooters also reduce the risk of reinjury that often occurs when people put too much weight on their feet. You will also be able to keep your hands free, so you can continue to go about your daily life without hassle. A wheelchair or pair of crutches requires you to operate them with your arms and hands, while a knee scooter does not. When it comes to mobility aids, consider knee scooters over crutches or a wheelchair to see just how convenient they are for you.
Power Wheelchairs
Power wheelchairs also referred to as electric wheelchairs, are a new way to get around. Unlike a traditional wheelchair that requires you to use your arms to move, power wheelchairs help you get around with just a few pushes of a button. This option gives you more independence and allows you to continue with your daily life without hassle. In addition to their convenience, power wheelchairs reduce the amount of physical strain and exertion required to use them. It's also helpful for caregivers who may need to push you around in a traditional wheelchair. When shopping for power wheelchairs, look for lightweight versions that can be disassembled for easy transport and storage. Make sure that the wheelchair includes comfortable padded armrests and a comfortable seat. Anti-tip wheels will keep you safely upright, and carry baskets make going to the store much more convenient and a lot easier. Explore the various features available for power wheelchairs so you can determine which one will be right for you. Most power wheelchairs use a battery that can be recharged, so check the battery life to ensure that you'll be able to use your wheelchair for an extended period of time.
