Question for Dr. Weil

Q: Why would a person use a knee walker verses crutches or a wheelchair?

A: “While crutches and wheelchairs have benefited my patients, they do have shortcomings. Crutches can be awkward and unsteady and wheelchairs are not only heavy, but bulky. This causes frustration and prevents optimal outcomes.”
