Science
Crutches and knee scooters have many advantages and disadvantages, but there is nothing on the market that combines the best qualities of both. With Step It Up, users can travel long distances on the scooter and traverse short obstacles with the crutch without risk of additional injuries.
Materials science is also an important factor in Step It Up. Crutches can be made from wood, aluminum, or metal. The first crutch was made by wood and we have progressed to stronger material like aluminum and steel. Knee scooters are primarily made of metal and plastic parts.
Who uses knee scooters and crutches?
Injuries include: a broken leg, broken ankle, broken foot, shin splints, or any other severe pain or type of injury to the leg.
Knee scooters and crutches allow the injured leg to stay elevated and avoids placing weight on the leg, allowing the healing process to go smoothly.
