The primary differences between the Orthomate and StrideOn knee walkers lie in their intended use.

The Orthomate is better suited for outdoor activities such as shopping, school runs, and park walks. Its wide pneumatic rubber wheels make it capable of handling various terrain at a gentle walking pace. Although less maneuverable than the StrideOn, the Orthomate can still be used indoors.

On the other hand, the StrideOn is ideal for indoor use due to its narrow thermoplastic no-mark wheels and 90-degree turning circle. While it can also be used outdoors on relatively smooth surfaces, it's the best option for supermarket runs and is suitable for use on tarmac car parks.
