To transfer to a knee scooter safely, position yourself correctly and ensure the brakes are locked. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Positioning: Stand next to the knee scooter, placing your injured leg closest to the scooter.
-
Brake Engagement: Before attempting to get on, double-check that the hand brakes are securely locked. This prevents the scooter from rolling during the transfer.
-
Handlebar Grip: Hold firmly onto the handlebars for stability.
-
Leg Placement: Carefully place your injured leg onto the knee rest. Ensure your knee is comfortably positioned on the pad.
By following these steps, you can safely and effectively transfer to a knee scooter. Remember to always prioritize safety by confirming the brakes are engaged before mounting.
