MODULAR ROLLER KIT COMPRISING A WALKING AID KNEE ROLLER WHICH IS CONFIGURABLE FOR AT LEAST TWO MEDICAL APPLICATIONS, AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING THE KNEE ROLLER AND USE

摘要

Walking aid devices are used by persons with walking difficulties in order to relieve a foot or an entire leg. The functionality of these devices is, however, in many cases rather limited. The invention relates to a modular roller kit (10), comprising a walking aid knee roller (20) which is configured to support a person with walking difficulties (1) at its knee (1.2), the knee roller comprising a chassis (21) and at least two wheel units (22) which are mounted thereto on at least two axles (21.1); wherein the roller kit comprises at least one module with a person support element (30) having a knee support (30.1) which can be reversibly coupled to the chassis at a mounting interface (27), wherein the roller kit comprises at least one further module with a further person support element (30a) having a seat (30a.1) configured for at least one sitting position for a person with walking difficulties due to a knee or hip operation, which can be reversibly coupled to the chassis at the same mounting interface (27) instead of the person support element (30). This modular concept involving a plurality of modules means that the functionality of the knee roller can be expanded.
