SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING KNEE WALKER:
As with any new physical activity, practice and common sense are
necessary for successful use of the knee walker. Before operating
the knee walker at normal walking speed, practice maneuvering
and making turns at slow rates of speed to get familiar with the
knee walker and how to best maintain balance. Gradually
increase the time spent using the knee walker to allow muscles to
adjust to this new activity. A users’s learning curve for use of the
knee walker depends on the individual’s level of activity, balance,
and ability. Consult a healthcare professional for additional
guidance on height settings and use of the knee walker for
maximum support and comfort during recovery.
The following warnings are intended to help the user
achieve the safest operation of the knee walker during recovery.
Failure to read and comply may result in injury to user or
damage to the unit.
DO NOT operate the knee walker faster than a comfortable
walking speed (we recommend not more than 3 miles per hour).
Running with the knee walker or riding it fast down a hill is dan -
gerous as one can easily lose control of the knee walker and
serious injury could result.
Use extra caution when turning the knee walker. Do not turn un -
less one foot is on the ground. Do not turn at speeds over 1 mph
(very slow walking speed). Never make a sharp turn at high speed
as this could result in a fall and serious injury.
DO NOT travel over loose gravel, large cracks, or other uneven
surfaces.
