POLL QUESTION: Let us know WHY YOU need to use a SCOOTER? LET US KNOW!

[@kimgillespie1740]

I've a fractured fibula and crutches suck.

[@txlangster6276]

One bit of advice from someone who was on a scooter for past 3 months, put the scooter's brake on (lock it) every time you stop.

[@stevekrause5931]

Love your videos. Thank you very much!

[@tiffanie-888]

I was looking for a video that demonstrated someone using the scooter. That would have made this video extremely helpful. Great tips regardless. Thank you.

[@eddsiu]

Great video Dr! Regarding your comment at

[@cassy8834]

I’m having major surgery on the 12th and I’m requesting one of these over crutches because my backs no good

[@jeankelly5859]

Thanks for the scooter advice!

[@thistime1483]

These are a great idea. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to come up with the idea.

[@tictac9367]

Can i use that if i got a rod and screws in my tibia surgery 6 weeks ago

[@westfield90]

GF had a distal spiral tibial and fibular fracture right above the ankle. A rod from the knee downwards and plate and screws at the ankle. Is this scooter advisable for her to place the shin on the scooter with the ankle hanging off?

[@stampingwithtricustomdesig6172]

Can you usean knee scooter with a boot

[@sandrauribe2714]

So this looks very helpful but even though it's been almost 10 years post OP for knee replacement and its it's very difficult with some pain. How or what can be helpful to get around. I'd love to be able to get around easier than in a wheelchair as I don't do well on crutches at all and ended up having to have a shoulder replacement because of a very bad fall. I'd love to hear some suggestions, thanks!

[@Gummy_Pop.]

My doctor said i can use a scooter however theres about 2-3 steps at the entrance...any tips?

[@angelac8812]

Ha! Great after being on it for 3 weeks and 5 falls. Lol 😂. I wish I found this sooner!

[@beingme5655]

I’ve broken my 1st & 2nd metatarsal bones & cracked my 3rd. I have a chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my right hand after being bitten by my cat. I got a serious infection & it took 16 operations & months of multiple IV antibiotics until the infection cleared. Despite physio I’ve lost all function in it. Having no function of my right hand means I’m unable to use crutches or a walker. My doctor recommended a knee scooter which I hired out & it arrived today. It’s the only way I’m able to get around the ground floor of my home. I use my right forearm in place of the hand & it’s going to take patience & practice to get used to the knee scooter but I just wondered if you hand any ideas or advice for someone in my position? Many thanks Vicky, from the UK 🇬🇧

[@lour7753]

I just had a heel spur removed from my Achilles tendon. it’s called a Haglund’s deformity. Had to detach my Achilles tendon to shave the bone.

[@destinyforreal9744]

Someone suggested to me to get more cushy wheels

[@rhappycamper213]

Good information, but the videos in the back are distracting.

[@ellengayle8103]

Any advice for using the knee scooter on sloped surfaces? Leaving my home in any way involves going either up or down a slope
