Finding the best comfort pads for your knee scooters.
If you find your knee scooter to be uncomfortable or if your knee is very sore after use, consider adding a walker pad cover to the knee rest. There are a lot of cover options available so it can be difficult to know what will work best for your knee. Let’s consider a few points in order to better grasp what may work the best for you.
Who would need an aftermarket cover for their knee pad?
Really, anyone that is currently using a knee scooter to better their limited mobility. Some scooter are equipped out of the box with a more comfortable knee pad and others may need a little extra cushion to improve the feel and comfort. If you currently shopping for a new knee walker and are worried about knee comfort, be mindful of the stock knee pad to see if it will require extra padding.
Is an upgraded knee pad worth it?
It really depends on how much time you spend on your scooter and the kind of stock knee pad your scooter came with. If you will be spending a lot of time on your scooter, your knee may become very sore as it’s not used to the pressure over extended periods of time. Most people don’t spend a lot of time putting the weight of their body on their knee, so to spend even a few minutes walking on your knee will cause significant discomfort. If you believe it possible for your knee to be uncomfortable, go ahead and purchase the additional knee pad accessory.
What kind of knee pads are available?
The largest percentage of knee pads available are made of memory foam. These memory foam pads are usually wrapped in durable cloth or faux sheepskin material for added fuzzy cushioning comfort. One downside to the sheepskin cover would be how easily it would pick up and hold dust and dirt. This would require you to wash the pad more frequently.
Are there any other benefits to these pad covers?
In addition to the extra comfort provided by the pad, these covers will also extend the life of the stock scooter pad. Similar to putting seat covers on your car seats, putting a cover on your scooter pad will help keep it clean and looking good for much long and possibly increase the resale value if you decide to sell it when you’re all healed up and on your feet again.
