Nitro Glide Knee Walker: A Crutch Alternative for a Below the Knee Injury
The Drive Medical Nitro Glide Knee Walker lets you keep weight off an injured foot, ankle or lower leg while you get around. You rest the knee of your injured leg on the padded knee pad, hold the handlebar and push with your good leg. Drive built it for people recovering from a below the knee injury, indoors and out.
It holds users up to 350 lb, weighs 23 lb and folds for storage and the car.
What Is a Knee Walker and Who Is It For?
A knee walker, also called a knee scooter, is a four wheel frame with a knee pad and a steering handlebar. It takes the place of crutches while one leg heals, so your hands and underarms do not carry your weight.
- People recovering from foot, ankle or lower leg surgery
- Anyone told to keep weight off one foot after a break or sprain
- Users who find crutches tiring or hard on the underarms and wrists
- Users up to 350 lb, on the left or the right leg
A Front Axle That Changes Width
The Nitro Glide has a patented front axle that sets at 16, 18 or 20 inches. Narrow it for tight halls, bathrooms and tight turns. Widen it for more stability outdoors and on uneven ground. Overall width runs from 15.6 to 20.3 inches.
Large Front Wheels for Indoors and Out
The 10 inch front wheels and 7.5 inch rear wheels roll smoothly over floors, sidewalks and paved paths.
Brakes You Can Trust
Dual hand brakes on the handlebar control a dual rear braking system with integrated disc brake technology. A push button parking brake holds the walker still when you stop. The brake cables run inside the frame tubing, out of the way and easy to replace.
A Knee Pad for Either Leg
The padded knee pad is offset and reversible, so it works for the left or the right leg. It measures 13 by 7 inches and sets from 17 to 23 inches off the floor. The handlebar sets from 30 to 39 inches, with eight adjustment holes. Both adjust without tools.
Basket Included, and It Folds
A removable storage basket with a carry handle holds up to 13 lb, so a phone, a water bottle or a few groceries come with you. The frame folds for storage and transport, and assembly is tool free.

How to Choose a Knee Walker in Canada
Check four things: the weight capacity, the width against your doorways, the knee pad and handle height range against your height, and the brakes. The Nitro Glide covers a wide range on all four, and its adjustable front axle lets one walker suit both narrow rooms and outdoor paths.

Is the Nitro Glide Right for You?
Best for:
- Recovery from a below the knee injury on either leg
- Users up to 350 lb who want four wheels and hand brakes instead of crutches
- Homes with narrow halls or bathrooms, where the 16 inch axle setting helps
- Getting outdoors, on the 10 inch front wheels
May not be the best fit if:
- You have stairs to climb. Crutches such as the Drive Aluminum Underarm Crutches are the usual choice for steps.
- You need walking support for both legs. A rollator such as the Drive Nitro Sprint is the better choice.
Final Thoughts
The Nitro Glide Knee Walker keeps you moving while your leg heals, with a front axle that adapts to your home, large front wheels, a parking brake and a basket for the things you carry.
