Turning Leg Caddy - Details & Specifications:

If you can't put weight on a foot or ankle because of injury, illness or surgery, a knee scooter may be what you need. Knee scooters are a personal mobility device that's used as an alternative to crutches, traditional walkers and wheelchairs. The Turning Leg Caddy ("TLC®") provides an excellent example of the knee scooter. It is a four-wheeled, steerable kneeling walker which comfortably supports the injured limb and is propelled using the good leg. This device offers mobility to people who cannot use a foot or ankle but want to remain active.

Unlike grocery cart style casters which always point down hill and cannot traverse a sloping sidewalk, the TLC® always turns the direction you would like to go!

Larger wheels allow you the freedom to move around in just about any environment you can think of with Ease and Stability!

TLC's® "Split Knee Seat" makes scooting around more comfortable as it is designed to accommodate the lip of the cast/boot which prevents painful pressure and rubbing.

The overall length of the split knee seat is 14 inches to support more of your lower leg, in effect adding to your comfort while scooting.

NO lifting, NO hopping, just steer and glide into recovery!

Turning Leg Caddy - Highlights:

Turns easily with large wheels and four-bar linkage steering system
Supports injured limb and propels using uninjured leg
Accommodates lip of cast/boot to prevent pressure and rubbing
14-inch length split knee seat supports lower leg and enhances comfort
Meets doctors’ requirements for “total non-weight bearing”
Easily adjustable to patient heights
Available in two sizes for patients from 4’11” to 5’10” and 5’8” to 6’ 6” tall
Easily adjustable from left to right ankle
Accommodates weight up to 350 pounds
Steers like a bicycle rather than like a shopping cart. Turns easily but not so sharply as to cause instability with handlebar steering
Large wheel size allows you to move over un-even surfaces and obstacles with ease
Wheel height allows you to maneuver over curbs or steps up to 6”
Parking brake allows you to stay put and complete daily activities (such as food preparation, personal care)
Light weight and foldable for easy transportation and storage

Knee scooters avoid underarm discomfort, balance problems and other adverse consequences of crutches. Unlike conventional walkers, they leave both hands free for daily tasks. They are more maneuverable than wheelchairs and easier to transport.

Who can benefit from a TLC®

TLC's® are suitable for people who want to stay as mobile as possible during recovery. Candidates include people who have had foot surgery; diabetics with Charcot joint disease, ulcers or other complications; and patients with bunionectomies, Achilles tendon problems, and foot reconstruction. Certain patients with neuro-muscular problems, arthritis or amputations may also benefit. Consult your physician or surgeon about whether a TLC® is right for you and how long to use it.

Many diabetics' foot wounds don't heal successfully because of wound disturbance. Patients step on injured feet for balance when moving from crutches, walkers or wheelchairs onto toilets or chairs. The TLC®, when properly operated, allows the user to perform most daily activities (such as food preparation, personal care and even shopping) without ever putting weight on the injured foot. Additionally, the TLC® promotes movement by making activities easier, thus helping patients maintain better cardio-pulmonary fitness.

Amputees of the lower leg or foot have found the TLC® useful for nighttime bathroom visits, when there isn't time to attach a prosthesis. They report getting better sleep because they are more confident of success.
