OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TLC KNEE SCOOTER
Read carefully before using the TLC Knee scooter
You have purchased or rented a TLC, a medical device designed to maximize mobility during
your recovery from foot or ankle surgery or injury.
WARNING: As with any new physical activity, instruction, practice, and common sense are
necessary for successful use of the TLC. Your health professional or TLC distributor can provide
instruction and demonstration. Practice operating the TLC to increase your skill and confidence.
Gradually increasing the time you spend using the TLC will allow your muscles to adjust to this
new activity.
PREPARATION: Wearing non-slip shoes on your non-injured foot, check the position of the
TLC. To adjust the platform for a right or left foot, remove the platform pin, lift the platform
from its frame, turn it around to the correct side, then replace the platform in the frame and
reinsert pin. The edge of the platform should be aligned with the edge of the frame on the non-
injured side. When standing behind the TLC, the platform should be off-center to the left for a
right foot injury and off-center to the right for a left foot injury. If you have a previously unused
model, attach the Velcro strips to the platform with the larger pad to the front and the smaller pad
to the back; both pads should align themselves to the end of the platform (see detailed
instructions included).
Stand on the side of the TLC where your pushing foot will be. Lock the parking brake. Release
the quick-release clamp on the T-tube and adjust the height of the hand grips to a comfortable
upright fit. Relock the quick-release clamp.
WARNING: Failure to properly engage the quick-release clamp may cause the T-tube to
telescope up or down while the TLC is in use and may cause you to lose control. With the quick-
release clamp properly adjusted, the handlebars will not move up or down.
MOVEMENT: Place your hands on the handlebars. Place the knee of your injured leg or foot
on the front pad so that the top of your boot or cast is directly over the space between the pads.
Your lower leg is then resting on the rear pad. Release the parking brake and propel yourself
forward or backward with your pushing foot, keeping the knee of your injured foot centered on
the front pad. Move slowly so that you can stop safely using your pushing foot. The hand brake
may be used if needed but is primarily designed to maintain a stopped stance.
