Why StrideOn Knee Walkers Are Designed for Every Age

Whether you're 15 or 85, recovering from a lower leg injury comes with the same set of challenges, staying mobile, safe, and independent without putting weight on the injured foot or ankle. At StrideOn, we believe that mobility aids should fit into your life, not the other way around.

That’s why our knee walkers are designed to suit a wide range of heights, ages, and lifestyles, offering dependable support whether you’re a teenager recovering from sport-related surgery or an older adult managing a fracture with confidence.

Designed for Real People, Across Generations

Mobility aids aren’t one-size-fits-all and we don’t believe they should be. Both of our knee walker models are designed with adjustable features and flexible sizing to accommodate a broad range of users.

Here’s a quick guide:

• StrideOn Knee Walker
  Suitable for users 5 ft to 6 ft 4 inches
  Ideal for indoor and general everyday use
  Features a unique 90° turning circle, perfect for home environments
• 
  
• Orthomate Knee Scooter
  Suitable for users 5 ft 1 to 6 ft 3 inches
  Designed for indoor and outdoor use with wide air-filled tyres, an excellent option for dog walking, school runs, or outdoor events

This means both models can comfortably accommodate teenagers, adults, and older users, with height-adjustable handlebars and knee pads for a tailored fit.

Real-World Examples

• 
  
• Teenagers & Young Adults:
  Whether it's a football injury, skiing accident, or post-op recovery from a break, we’ve helped hundreds of young people recover without crutches slowing them down. The Orthomate is often chosen by active teens who still want to go outdoors or be at school without feeling restricted.
• 
  
• Adults & Parents:
  For working adults or busy parents, a knee walker offers freedom to keep up with everyday life, from the school run to popping to the shops. Many of our customers say their knee walker helped them maintain their usual routines, even while non-weight bearing.
• 
  
• Older Adults:
  Our StrideOn model is particularly popular among older adults, thanks to its easy steering, comfortable ride, and stability indoors. It’s a great alternative to crutches, which can feel unsafe or exhausting to use for extended periods.

Comfortable, Adjustable, Easy to Use

Both models come with fully adjustable knee pads and handlebars, allowing you to find a comfortable setup for your body type. The knee pad itself is off-set, allowing it to be rotated to give best positioning for either a right or left leg injury. No tools are needed for most adjustments, and each walker comes with a clear user guide to help you get set up in minutes.

Independence Shouldn’t Be Age-Dependent

Whether you’re recovering from bunion surgery at 70 or bouncing back from an ankle break at 16, StrideOn and Orthomate knee walkers provide support that adapts to you. Our aim is to help you stay active, connected, and mobile, whatever stage of life you’re in.
