After surgery, you need the right equipment ready the day you come home — not a week later. Here's what most people need, by procedure, so you can have it delivered and set up fast.
What you'll likely need, by surgery type
Foot or ankle surgery
A knee walker (knee scooter) is usually the best choice — you rest your shin on a padded cushion and roll, keeping weight off the foot, with your hands free. (See our comparison guide.)
Knee or hip replacement
A rollator or walker for stability in the early weeks, sometimes a transport chair for longer outings. A raised toilet seat and grab bars make the bathroom safer.
Major surgery / limited mobility
A transport chair or wheelchair for getting to appointments, plus bath-safety equipment at home.
Get it before you come home
