I have had both knees replaced ..I like the chair idea but not sure if I want body weight on legs.. Is there a strap tools weight from thighs

I have a partial knee replacement on the left knee, and at first I didn't have any issues using the table. My orthopedic surgeon, however, is concerned that the weight on the knee would put too much stress on the appliance. There is no knee strap or way to limit the pull from the thighs upward, at least not with my table. That isn't to say that there isn't something out there to solve the issue, as I will also eventually have both knees done. The chair piece actually flattens as you tilt back, so there would need to be a place to secure the lower legs that can adjust as the tilt flattens out the table.

There are no straps for thighs but before you do anything, check with your Surgeon before doing this. When I recline there isn't much stress on my feet, so not much pulling on my legs. I really love it. Good Luck

You put your feet on the lower bar and another bar goes over the tops of your lower leg. It's padded, but their is pressure on your lower legs.

Hi, thank you for your enquiry. When ELEVEASE is positioned at knee height as per the instructions, your body weight automatically transfers to your other leg. This means that ELEVEASE becomes a FOOT REST. Heavy amounts of weight on the product is not recommended. Use in this manner and ELEVEASE will not move. Regards Dave

I had a serious problem with my knee. I used this chair to allow me to get around both the apartment and my building. I also used it to get to Doctors appt's. It helps alot. I am keeping it for other needs.

I bought this for my mom, so I actually have not used it myself. It doesn't seem like it would work for the knee due to the design. The company has other products, maybe there is one designed for the knee. Jaime Thomas

Donna, I have fat knees and thighs and those that slip over the knee roll and cut off the circulation in my knee. This one stays in place for me. It has three straps that you can tighten. I wear them for teaching Aqua Zumba and they work great for me.

You just wear the insert as it comes for a day or two and see if you feel "balanced" - If not, peel off the first layer and try that one for a few days and so on. (Be sure to keep each discarded layer in case you need to "re-think" your balance later and add them back on. If insert is not high enough, you may need to order another insert and add a layer or layers it that new one. I'm assuming that you need the insert for just one leg - that's my problem. Just play around with it and you will feel when you are in balance again! Best Wishes to you!

I have osteoarthritis in my back and the back rest and seat feels like you are sitting in an "easy" chair. Very comfortable. I do not think it stresses your knees at all since you are leaning back some. This is not like an upright bike that can cause pressure on your knees.

I'm 6' 2" and there seems to be a fair amount of additional seat adjustment after setting it for me. However, you are correct in being concerned about sizing. I've been using mine a great deal not just for exercise but to recuperate from operations on both legs for total knee replacements. I generally log at least fifteen minutes a day with resistance set to max. By the way, this machine does not have a computer program that can vary the resistance for uphill and downhill, and even at its max setting the resistance is not all that much. However, it has been an ideal machine for me. If you can find one to try that would be best. I would assume that most of the inexpensive bikes are of similar quality.

They help more in a mental aspect. I've moved more weight with them on. I think it just gives more confidence that your knees will track more correctly.

Frana, I am not sure about the straps but you may want to check the Kickstarter at http://www.cadencebiomedical.com/ It is a great new product that could give you the control of your leg back depending on the medical cause

I love the chair - airlines are not great with the foot rest so learned to take them off but weight wise it is great!

I don't know if this will help for sure, but I actually had trouble using it because I have shorter legs! Your feet might hang off the end, but you almost certainly won't have a problem in the bum-to-knee area, because that's the part that I had issues with since I have shorter or more average-length thighs.

Have you tried raising/lowering the "seat" or handle bars? If you injured your more strong foot you may need a chiropractor to adjust your sacrum if it's out of line. I have had many strangers tell me their aches and pains with knee scooters now that I use one. I don't have issues with it but I'm an athlete and have had to train my body to stand for long periods of time. Maybe you just need an adjustment?

I don't believe you will be able to dangle your legs from this wedge. It's more of a platform and is pretty large. You may want to look for something to go just under your knees. Try searching knee wedge. Looks like they have some items that may be more useful for what you are looking to achieve. Hope this helps :) Good luck.
