I've just acquired a new walking aid - it's called a "leg caddy" or "knee scooter" and is basically a 4-wheeled scooter with a knee-rest instead of a platform or saddle. I find it difficult to walk when "off" due to my left leg dragging - feels like the foot is stuck to the floor. the scooter is meant for people with a lower-leg or foot injury but I found it a Godsend.
