What Is a TLC?

• A TLC (Turning Leg Caddy) is a knee scooter that is an alternative to crutches. It is used by people who cannot put weight on a foot or ankle due to surgery, injury or illness. The TLC has a comfortable foam pad for the knee leaving your other leg free to propel you forward to backward. The TLC is a unique foot-powered knee scooter that is lightweight, portable and very maneuverable. Easier to manage and more stable than crutches, the TLC knee scooter protects the injured foot or ankle while providing maximum mobility.  Download brochure.
