  • Teachers are the unsung heroes of our society, inspiring and nurturing young minds every day. 

    But what happens when an unexpected injury threatens to keep them away from their beloved classroom? 

    In this blog post, we'll share a heartfelt story of a teacher who used a knee scooter to regain her mobility and confidence in the classroom. 



    The Story of a Teacher's Triumph Over Adversity



    When a middle school art teacher from Two Rivers Community School in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, slipped on hidden ice at the local town park, she suffered a fractured tibia and fistula near her ankle. 

    Forced to take ten days off work, she worried about how she'd be able to return to the classroom and continue teaching her students.

    That's when she discovered the 
    Orthomate, a knee scooter that changed her life. She shared her experience with us, saying, "This Orthomate Scooter has been a game changer in my physical and mental wellness. I can get around with ease, safety, and precision. I teach K-8 grades. 

    Each class has a surprise to it. This scooter has kept me in the classroom with confidence."

    With the scooter's help, she could effortlessly navigate her art room with ease, safety, and precision. It allowed her to teach students across all grades, from kindergarten to 8th grade, without missing a beat. 


    The knee scooter gave her the confidence to return to her passion and continue to be an everyday hero for her students.

    She further explained, "I use the scooter daily, getting around the Art Room. A full game changer. I could not return to my job without the aid of this scooter! The Orthomate has given me the confidence, physically and mentally, to return to the art room. So happy to have found this scooter!"



    What Makes Knee Scooters Ideal for Teachers?



    Knee scooters provide a stable, comfortable, and safe alternative to crutches or walkers. They're perfect for teachers, who often need to move quickly and efficiently around their classrooms. With a knee scooter, they can do just that while keeping their injured leg elevated and supported.
