Roscoe Medical Knee Walker Scooter for Adults for Foot Surgery, Foldable Leg Scooter for Broken Foot, All Terrain Adjustable Knee Crutch Scooter, Burgundy

I had surgery on my right ankle for torn ligaments and a tendon, thus no weight bearing for a month. Forget crutches. I cannot give enough praise to the Roscoe knee roller. Seriously, this product gives you instant mobility from day 1, post surgery. I read numerous reviews and settled on Roscoe. It is very well constructed, super easy to assemble (basically you snap the handle bars and seat in place and slide the basket on) and you are off. I highly recommend ordering before your surgery so you can get comfortable with the scooter however it is so easy to use you only need a few zips around your floor space to feel confident. The turning radius is limited, however still very sufficient . All of the scooter brands have an issue with this, however it can easily be picked up to adjust. I’m getting pretty good with three point turn arounds if needed. Ha! The scooter style I ordered is around 22 lbs however not too heavy to lift the handlebars if needed to adjust if you are in a tight place. I am 5’ 5”, weigh 120 lbs and 69 years old. The scooter’s capacity is 350 lbs. It’s also super easy to collapse to put in your car. The basket is ESSENTIAL and I would recommend that you get one. The Roscoe model I ordered came with a large basket to carry all of my needs and more, phone, bowl of breakfast cereal, medical needs and meds, you name it. I was concerned about wheel durability as that seemed to be an issue with a lot of brands. However, I have used mine on aggregate floors, carpets, pavers and concrete. No problems at all. Obviously carpeting with a higher pile gives you resistance however still manageable. I have not gone on grass, dirt, or muddy ground so can’t speak to “four wheeling” if you have that need. The hand brake can be adjusted however mine was set perfectly. The handle bars and knee rest are adjustable. The seat also adjusts to a right or left leg injury. I bought the Roscoe sheep skin (faux) seat cover which is also a must. It fits very tight for my model however has not come off or been a problem. My model has the two piece seat which works for my cast. As for the practical, you will figure out what position you have to park your scooter in to slide on and off your toilet. This is where the weight of the scooter is helpful to assist you with sitting down or standing up. I don’t have bars to assist in my bathroom. I can’t find one thing I would change. Even the color, maroon with black, is perfect for our WAZZU, GO COUGS! family. Thank you Roscoe for building a quality product at a reasonable price that has truly bettered my life. D. BarrettFollow up to my above review (almost 4 weeks later)... I am now 5 days away from my cast removal and the next phase of my recovery which includes a walking boot. I will be using my scooter only when I need to rest my ankle. I can now speak to "four wheeling", scooting over the grass and I can happily say my Roscoe did not disappoint. I did feel every roll and bump in the lawn however seriously, it's not a vehicle with shocks and springs so get over it and be thankful it will get you from point A to point B. We also live on a hill and have a very steep driveway which I needed to go down with my knee roller a few times. My husband simply stood in front of me and backed down with me using the brake intermittently. I never felt like I was on the verge of tipping or unable to stop. I have been able to shower independently and function in and outside of my home with a freedom that crutches would never have given me. In a couple of weeks, my Roscoe knee roller will be boxed back up and saved for possible future needs as it has become a family member. Ha!

After my wife had surgery on her right foot, she had to keep the weight off it for about 5 weeks. She had tried crutches before when she had a minor injury to her other foot and they were uncomfortable for her to use. A scooter was the best solution for her. At first we rented a scooter at our pharmacy, it was costing $20.00 a week which is not a great amount, but I thought maybe buying one would be a better option. I looked at medical supply stores and some were as high as $500. Next I looked at E-bay where they were more economically priced, but I needed one right away and could not wait for an auction to end.As usual, Amazon had this one which fit our needs, it was compact, priced well and was shipped quickly as I had signed up for Prime on a trial basis.These scooters are a big help allowing the injured to move around at home and if you go somewhere, to be able to get around a whole lot easier than on crutches. This Roscoe Knee Scooter has a split pad that can be positioned to accommodate a person with an injury to either foot. It has a brake which helps when on an incline and it can be locked like an emergency brake on a car. Turning is somewhat limited by stops, apparently to help keep a person from turning the scooter over if steered too sharply. The wheels are big enough to use the scooter outside on pavement or concrete but not so good on grass or soft earth, it works fine on carpet or smooth floors and the wheels are not supposed to mar hardwood or make marks on floors, The handlebar assy. has a latch that allows folding when transporting the scooter in your car trunk or back seat. When ready to use again the handlebars hinge back up and lock with a cross bolt like pin and a locking lever. This arrangement is secure and works fine, it also is adjustable.Our house is fairly small, but my wife was able to use this scooter quite well, although it was somewhat difficult to turn some times and she had to lift up on the rear wheels to make it go where needed. Also, she had to back out of certain areas with it, or I would turn it around for her. Even though it was somewhat difficult to use at times, this scooter was a great help for her to get around without much assistance. I would help her in a store or at the hospital or doctor's office by pushing on her back while she held the other foot up off the floor, it takes little effort to move the scooter and the wheels roll easily on roller bearings.All said, this scooter paid for itself just for the convenience of being able to move around with much less effort and trouble compared to crutches. We'll keep this scooter in case she needs it again or if someone in the family needs to use it, hopefully not me. Get one if you need it, you won't regret the purchase.

Llegó al día siguiente de que lo pedí, cosa que agradezco, me operaron del pie y llevo 8 semanas usándolo, así uno tiene más movilidad es estas circunstancias, es cómodo y la otra pierna no carga con todo el peso del cuerpo, recomiendo que se compre también los forros acolchonados que venden para proteger la rodilla ya que con el paso del los días va doliendo.

Estoy feliz me ha solucionado mucho después de mi cirugía de tobillo aunque no tiene mucho radio de. Giro y hay que maniobrar mucho

Muy practico, me ayudó mucho a no tener que usar muletas y es plegable así que entraba en una cajuela relativamente pequeña.

Buen servicio, buen producto, buena calidad.Gracias.

Muy buena calidad, facil de armar. Contiene instructivo. De facil manejo. El peso del scooter es ligero, facil de transportar.
