Patient Benefits:
  1. Provides a painless alternative to crutches or a walker
  2. Swiveling front wheels for easy steering and maneuvering
  3. Eliminates tripping or falling associated with crutches
  4. Less fatigue due to conserved energy
  5. Frees up hands
  6. Prevents atrophy by strengthening proximal muscles in affected leg
  7. Provides stability for those with compromised balance
  8. Improves circulation in affected leg
  9. Partially elevates affected leg for less pain and swelling
  10. Use as a bench or foot stool during rest
  11. Folds in seconds for transport or storage (no need to disassemble)

Not only does the RollerAid™ take less energy to propel on hard, level ground as compared with a walker or crutches, it also improves balance due to its broad base of support. Considering these benefits, it may seem surprising to hear that the RollerAid™ strengthens muscles instead of allowing atrophy, that is, wasting away of muscles and bone mass. Atrophy is one of the negative consequences of using crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs. By exercising most or all of the muscles around the knee, hip, and trunk during regular use, recipients benefit from strengthening of those muscles in both the injured and uninjured legs.

Suitability Criteria:
  1. Fractures of the foot, ankle, heel, or lower leg
  2. Non-union fractures
  3. Leg amputations
  4. Ruptured Achilles tendons
  5. Lower extremity ulcers/wounds (e.g., diabetic)
  6. Sprained ankles
  7. Bunions
  8. Gout
