  • How a StrideOn Knee Walker Made All the Difference

    Recovering from a serious surgery, like a total ankle joint replacement, is not easy. For one of our customers, this challenging journey was made significantly easier with the use of a StrideOn knee walker. Their testimonial not only highlights the incredible benefits of our knee walkers but also highlights the importance of having the right mobility aid during recovery.

    Mobility Made Possible During Recovery
    Our customer had undergone a total ankle joint replacement, which required two weeks in a cast with absolutely no weight allowed on the ankle. Faced with the prospect of limited movement and the challenges of navigating daily life with crutches, they decided to rent the StrideOn internal knee walker.
    The knee walker quickly proved to be a game-changer. Instead of struggling with crutches, which can often lead to fatigue, instability, and frustration, the knee walker provided mobility and freedom of movement within the home. This newfound independence allowed them to carry out daily tasks with ease—something that would have been impossible otherwise.

    Ease of Use and Safety
    One of the standout features of the StrideOn knee walker is how user-friendly it is. As our customer shared, the walker arrived with clear and concise assembly instructions, making it quick and easy to set up. From the moment it was assembled, it offered a stable and reliable solution for moving around the house.
    At no point did the customer feel unsafe using the knee walker, a testament to its robust design and thoughtful engineering. The walker’s manoeuvrability and stability allowed them to confidently navigate tight spaces and corners, ensuring they could maintain a level of normalcy in their day-to-day life.
    For those who may be unsure about how a knee walker operates, the short demonstration video on our website offers an excellent introduction, showing just how simple it is to use.

    In addition to the product itself, our customer praised the rental process as being straightforward and stress-free. At StrideOn, we understand how important it is for customers to have access to mobility aids without unnecessary complications.
    Jim and Helen, members of our dedicated customer service team, were commended for their exemplary assistance and support throughout the rental process.

    Recommended Accessories for an Enhanced Experience
    To further improve their recovery experience, the customer opted for some of the optional accessories available with the StrideOn knee walker. They specifically recommended the cup holder and padded seat cover, both of which added an extra layer of convenience and comfort.
    •    The Cup Holder: Perfect for carrying your favourite hot drink or water bottle, it allows you to stay hydrated or enjoy a cup of tea while still keeping your hands free.
    •    The Padded Seat Cover: Provides additional cushioning for the knee platform, making longer periods of use even more comfortable.
    These small yet thoughtful additions can make a big difference during your recovery, ensuring you stay as comfortable and independent as possible.
