Knee walker rental is a new and easy way to gain access to these “Rolleraid” type devices without needing to purchase one.
Most individuals who desperately need a RollerAid or knee walker only need them for a short duration and purchasing a unit is not necessary. Many doctors are now recommending these new devices for lower leg and foot injuries and although a large majority of insurance companies reimburse patients for these devices most people would rather just rent a unit for a month rather than purchase one.
So how do you know if a knee walker rental is right for your situation instead of purchasing? Well, ask your doctor how long you will need for recovery time. Then figure out how long you will need to rent to completely heal and start walking again. Gather prices from who you decide to rent from and compare your rental time to the purchase price and choose the solution that works best for you.
Knee Walker Rental
Remember you must include tax and shipping in your calculations to make a well educated decision. Many online rental stores offer free shipping and do not charge sales tax but you should always read their website and be sure before you order.
Also be aware that you may want to rent a little longer than what the doctor expects so you can ease back to walking normally while still being able to use your RollerAid or knee walker rental when needed.
Another issue to consider before making the decision on whether to buy or rent your rolleraid device is whether or not you want to keep it for future use. Many people will choose to purchase these devices instead of renting because they last for years and other family members or close friends will need to use them as a better alternative to crutches. This may be a strong motivation to purchase one especially if your insurance provider covers some or all the cost.
Whether you decide to buy or rent I am sure you will find these types of devices a great improvement over crutches and with knee walker rental now available it’s hard to resist.
