I'm sorry, I'm not the manufacturer of this product and let alone your orthopedist.

You can use Programs 2, 3, & 4. I would recommend using programs 3 and 4 daily, each for 1 week, and then move on to program for another week. After that, switch to program 5 (endurance) for a week, and finally program 6 for another week. Always vary the intensity daily gradually raising it.

First always check with your doctor and physical therapist. If you have the box call the manufacturer,if not I am certain that Amazon customer service would have Slendertone's number so you could call them directly. Best of luck with your recovery.

I did not get instructions for mine. I did Google how to use it and there are a ton of instructions there. My Dr told me how she wanted me to use if for my leg as well. Sorry I could not help more.

My spine has deteriorated due to arthritis and I have had both knees replaced but have found it easy to get onto the trainer. I use the same method as listed which is to move the pedals to the best position and stepping imbetween them - approximately the same height as a stair (I use the seat as a way to steady myself). Great way to exercise - do it while watching TV.

Marguerite, since your situation involves several surgeries, I would consult with your doctor on this. It worked for my knee, but then my knee was just sore and my situation did not involve surgery. Make sure that if you use this cream it will not complicate any recovery for you. Take care.

I use thsi for physical therapy fora knee replacement so I am not sure I can answer your question. I needed the back to to go up and I didn't need the face rest so I haven't used it.

You might try online. Google it. I think I did. You can measure your knee and it will tell you which one you need. I love this brace.

I would say, take apart and start over. I hardly use settings 2 and 3 because the thing I'd so strong. Sorry.

Click on the button on the top right side. You can toggle back and forth between 2 settings, (adjustments). This really helped us when we figured it out.

I'm getting this info from a google search, so I haven't tried this and couldn't seem to find it in the manual. Somebody suggested the following: "To reset all settings, go into the menu, the SET UP, then SYSTEM. You should see a SET-UP RESET option in there."

I didn't realize there were five different "kneedits". However, when making my decision, i tried a few on at a sporting goods store, watched and read a bunch of online content, and understood the mechanics of my personal knee issue. None of them are going to work like magic, but i will say this: after wearing mine during leg workouts, stopping because i didnt feel they were as effective as described, experiencing the pain come back, wearing them again and realizing that they do work (just not 100%), i decided they are a decent product.

While I am 5'2", I recently had knee surgery, my doctor suggested that I make it short as possible to force the knee into bending as much as possibe, that produced a really sharp bend (pain) I am sure your wife will be quite comfortable with last setting. It has been instrumental in my recovery.

I know this is kind of an old thread...but I'm not overweight and kind of looking for a bike as another form of cardio after three knee surgeries...just curious from the people who have commented below that they are overweight and using this...what would be your follow-up results after using the bike?

I think that has to depend on your physical condition, weight and height. I have bi-lateral knee replacements. I am 61 and overweight and 5'7. However, I can get in and out of the car, my office chair etc. without a problem. The seat on this thing is about the size of a dinner plate and is designed for you straddle it, facing the handle. The seat is tiny and not really very stable on three legs. I would pass on this style and go for one with four legs. That's what I ended up with. You still have to straddle the 4 legged one but bigger seat and much more stable. Hope this helps.

You NEED to keep it on the lowest setting and SLOWLY increase the setting. It is a powerful little device, and you need to use it like you would a medical device, because that is what it is. This goes double if you are a new user, your body will not be used to it unless you attune yourself to it. The manual reiterates this several times; don't ignore it. If you use it right, it's a wonderful little device that works miracles. If you use it incorrectly and don't pay attention to the manual (I.e., putting it directly on your spine? THAT'S A NO), then you will be in for an incredibly uncomfortable experience.We love ours and use it regularly :) You NEED to keep it on the lowest setting and SLOWLY increase the setting.

Two Velcro straps. They should adjust sufficiently unless you have unusual legs, which you didn't mention. These are the number one selling knee pads. There are many reasons why. Comfort and fit are two of them.
