Has anyone used a knee scooter with knee replacements? Is that possible?

I had knee replacement 8-9 years ago and there were no scooters back then. Watching my wife get around on hers after ankle fusion I don't think it would work that good after knee replacement. Your knee has to rest on the scooter and I think that would be painfull after knee surgery. Hope yours does as well as mine did.

Would be safer renting a true knee scooter. Used a knee scooter with my joint replacement surgery and it was a great thing. Could cut corners, easily go down hills. Hardest to go up hills. Best to have spotter then. This walker is not as agile as knee scooter. It does not roll as smoothly or turn as easily. Would say not to walker and encourage rental of knee scooter. Best of luck with your surgery!

Absolutely. I have a bad left knee and have been using this brace for swimming since 1996 when I hyperextended it getting on a rocking boat. My family doctor sent me to an orthopedic surgeon who said I would have to have the knee replaced in 6 months. I have seen so many knee replacements go bad at 69 years old I am not willing to take the chance. I replace mine every year because the wear and tear of taking them off they just get shabby looking. These are for not for 'frog' kicking, that is too much stress on the joint. I have a friend who is a proffesional swim coach an I am still swimming three days a week.

Yes! It worked good for me. I loved the red and many people said they liked it to. It was easy to fold and put in the van. I used it until my knee was better. I will keep it if I need it for my other knee.

Somewhat. As I recall, we just had to put on the seat and front basket. I loved my knee walker, very sturdy, don't know what I would have done without it while I recuperated. Linda

This machine is sold in a what is called a half leg and that comes up to the knee which allows you then to bend the knee or sit while using it. You probably have already discovered that or found another one that does the split around the knee then skips knee to the thigh. But since many read these questions thought I'd mention it even though it's more than a year later.

I'm not sure. You might check with Janome to see if they have a knee control that would work with this machine.

I haven't tried that but i'm pretty sure you can do it. However, I am not that sure that the scooter would be as stable as it is in its original configuration. Personally, I don't like the design of this scooter and I wouldn't reccomend it for 2 reasons: one is what you already expressed (the baby's feet get trapped under the back wheels), the second one is the very very poor built quality. I had to return 3 scooters before finding one whose handle was not so horribly misaligned with the body of the scooter (i.e., handle did not form a 90 degree angle with the main axis of the scooter).

Well I had to return my Urban 7XL scooter as it wasn't durable at all. In fact it collapsed quite dangerously when I hit a bump in the sidewalk. I don't recommend it at all. Razor appears more durable, but to be honest I went with NYCE Wheels as a replacement. Not an Amazon item, I purchased it from their website. It's been great, but I did like the shocks on the Urban. I believe the Zooters have them as well, although that's a whole other price point & some reviews pointed out problems with them as well.

It should. I had knee replacement. The single large leg goes on the outside of tub. The back fits on either side depending on which way you want to sit. You sit on outside of seat then slide over lifting legs over edge of tub.

The bike store that we take it to said to keep it around 20 lbs - no matter what it says on the side of the tire. FYI-we love our knee scooter but watch out for thorns. We went to an event held in a dry field and shortly after being there, realized the knee scooter had 2 flats! Had the bike store put in heavy duty tire tubes so we should be okay now! Hope you enjoy yours half as much as we do ours!

Yes it would. My wife had a hip replacement and her friend had a knee replacement. They both had the same physical therapist at the same hospital and later at home. They both bought and used the medical pedal exerciser and it really helped them both to a complete recovery. The price is cheap, but the construction is good.

Haven't tried with a knee scooter but have used them with an automotive creeper with success. I used knee pads for many years and these stay in place as well as other types I've used that restrict circulation, causing soreness.

I am sorry I can not answer your question. I just used the walker for a month. I had knee surgery and I used the walker just as I got it.

depends on the scooter .. does it have a t-bar style front .. see the hooks on the back which is part of the base? it has two u-shaped hooks. It fits on my knee chair even though the handle bars are slightly curved inward. plus at the bottom side of the base part it has a velcro piece to wrap around the bottom side of the handlebars. I love this one because you can separate the basket from the base and move it off the chair to take inside or do other things with. My suggestion would be to order it (as mine only cost $25) and take a chance like I did that it will fit. Amazon will accept all returns if it doesn't and you aren't out a lot of money (just shipping). I ordered enough so I got free shipping to me. Good luck !

Believe it or not, I've actually done this multiple times when having to transport scooters. It's just like skiing and it's lots of fun. I wouldn't recommend it thought as it is dangerous.
