Thanks for watching, glad you found the video helpful and best wishes with your rehab and recovery after your 2nd knee replacement.

Please answer .. 🙏🏾

@@sepherinaallard7584 yes the pedals can be used for your arms as well. Thanks for watching!

Hello, the recumbent bike does offer some greater benefits including being able to adjust the seat position to increase or decrease knee bend, easier to add/subtract resistance, and a very supportive seat. However, the pedal exerciser does offer a good low cost alternative in my opinion with many of the same benefits! Thanks for the question!

The cheaper versions can definitely be more unstable. The main thing is just finding a good setup in terms of chair height, distance between chair and peddler, and having a sturdy chair, possibly up against a wall for stability.

Hello at which month or weeks after tkr I can be used

Thanks for watching! Yes, in general I would say the same guidelines and recommendations apply for the Cubi Peddler machines.

Nice! Thanks for watching and best wishes!

Without knowing your personal history and physical status, having MS should not keep you from using the pedal exerciser and likely would be a beneficial option for you to try.

Yes, a knee replacement patient can definitely use one of these. It can help with joint range of motion and muscle endurance which in turn can help improve walking form.

Unless your doctor recommends otherwise, this can be used within a day or two after knee replacement surgery for most individuals.

These two options offer very similar benefits. A stationary bike is a great option, most people prefer a recumbent bike with a back rest and you are in a seated position. The pedal exerciser is a little more economical and affordable option for some.

Thank you doctor for your advice

Yes you can set it on a table and use it for your arms!

Sorry to hear this… maybe you have a friend or family member who is handy and can help you out.

It is not specific to the knees. The calf musculature is working in some respect, but it mainly should be thought of as either a tool for mobility and range of motion or a light form of aerobic endurance exercise.

@@KneeReplacementTherapists oh okay because I fracture my toe and unfortunately got a calf muscle atrophy ( due to lack of movement ) might consider getting one

There is no set point. If you have to hike your hip up to complete the rotation you may not have enough knee bend to have the machine that close and it may be appropriate to move it away from the chair some. Ideally, as your knee range of motion and symptoms improve you can move the device closer and work on bending the knee more as you pedal.

I was not having very much knee pain and then I wrote this for a half hour now I seem to have a little everyday

You're right, this is one of the negatives about using this. Weighing it down can work. I typically like to push it snug up against a wall or piece of furniture as another option to keep it from moving around.

Actually this is a great thing to do for long-term joint health and regaining mobility early on after surgery.
