Covid - Non-weight Bearing injuries and StrideOn Determination
- By Lydia Lucas

- Unfortunately, accidents, injuries and some surgeries don’t stop during a pandemic which is why here at StrideOn Ltd we’re safely continuing to provide patients with the support they need.
- Our already vigilant team have followed tight government guidelines and enforced company protocols to meet the very real challenges of providing a service to our patients during Covid. This has been achieved thanks to the dedication and professionalism of StrideOn’s staff, who have put their wellbeing on the line to ensure that our patients are able to mobilise and remain independent despite the challenges of lockdown.
- Paul Archer, Managing Director, said: “Despite current difficulties, we as a business have been determined to remain open, albeit with reduced staffing levels, to support our patients through what is and has been a traumatic and challenging time. This is because we understand that it is bad enough to have a lower limb non-weightbearing injury but to then rely on a Zimmer frame or worse still crutches as your only form of mobilisation is a recipe that will lead to a much more difficult and ultimately more stressful recovery”.
- For 10 years StrideOn Limited has been helping people get back on their feet with the most manoeuvrable StrideOn knee walker and the versatile all terrain Orthomate knee scooter. It’s helped thousands of people retain their independence while recovering from non-weight bearing injuries.
- If you have any questions or would like to find out more about our StrideOn knee walkers please contact the team on 01823 216202.
- Now you know we’re safe and sound and determined to support you, here are some other reasons to come on board.
- 100% supportive
- Our knee scooters keep your healing limb comfortable, off the ground and raised out of harm's way at all times.
- Easy to use and highly manoeuvrable
- Use it like a scooter - it takes seconds to learn. Extremely useful around the home, shops or office. Take back your freedom.
- 100% supportive
- Now you know we’re safe and sound and determined to support you, here are some other reasons to come on board.
- Fully adjustable for comfort
- Both the knee pad and handlebars are height adjustable, so you can adjust them to fit you. It is very comfortable to use and easy to adjust.
- Using crutches is tiring
- Keeping the healing limb off the ground is tiring on the thigh muscles and general posture. Not with a StrideOn knee walker: you can stand normally and get on with your everyday life.
- Sustainable
- Nearly four in every five aids such as walking sticks, wheelchairs and crutches were never returned to the NHS by its patients ending up as rubbish. At StrideOn Ltd we encourage rental as opposed to purchasing because we know customers usually only need a knee walker for less than six weeks.
