Below are some of the most frequently asked questions concerning the rental of our Kneewalkers and Kneescooters.
|
What is a Knee Walker?
|
A Knee Walker resembles a scooter with an elevated pad to rest the knee of your injured leg on. You can steer the unit by turning the attached handle bars which control the direction of the front wheels. The Knee Walker is designed to keep weight off of your injured lower leg.

Why would I choose a
Knee Walker instead of Crutches? |
In the past, wheelchairs and crutches were the only alternative to help persons with leg injuries to be more mobile. Crutches can be very tiring, and wheelchairs' size can make them more difficult to get around.
The small size and portability of the Knee Walker, makes it a great alternative. A Knee Walker is designed to allow a person to balance naturally on both legs, keeping the injured leg elevated. This allows the injury to heal more quickly and can help alleviate further damage. Also, knee Walkers are light weight and fold for easy storage. |
|
Will Insurance Cover my
Knee Walker? |
Please direct any Knee Walker coverage questions to your insurance provider. We are not a Medicare or Medicaid provider. We are unable to file a claim on your behalf, nor will we bill your insurance company for payment. It is best to contact your insurance company directly to find out if you qualify for any type of reimbursement. We can however, provide the necessary paperwork for you in the event that you are eligible for reimbursement from your Insurance Company.

Should I buy or rent a Knee Walker ?
|
We recommend renting a Knee Walker if your injury will be short term, 4 weeks or less. If you will need the Knee Walker for longer periods of time, buying the Knee Walker may be your best solution. Knee Walkers of Texas will rent Kneewalkers and kneescooters to persons in the Greater Austin, TX area. We hand deliver and assemble the Knee Walker for you. We will give you instructions for using your kneewalker and be sure you are completely comfortable with your rental. We will collect the Kneewalker at the end of the rental period, unless you decide to purchase the unit.
Should you decide to purchase a Kneewalker, we offer Free Shipping to all US States. |
