Knee Glider for Knee Replacement Recovery ，Recovery Aids for Knee Exercises， Portable Knee Strengthening and Rehabilitation Tool

Non-slip pedal design keeps my foot stable during exercises. Very safe.

Promotes faster healing by improving blood flow during rehabilitation exercises.

I definitely notice how this exercises the muscles around my knee. As you can see in the photos included with this review the design uses 4 ball bearings on the underside to produce the rolling effect. The up side is that the glider can move in any direction not just forward and backward. One downside I noticed is that there is some resistance with carpets. Using the ropes will help with that when bring your leg back towards you. I also noticed that the resistance was more when I was trying to use the glider sitting in a recliner. Since I found it easier in a chair, I'll stick to using it in a chair. I also tried this on a tile floor where it glides very easily but I don't have a wooden nor a vinyl floor. On the tile floor it is pretty noisy. In fact, even though it glides so well I would not recommend using it on tile floor because I found the noise annoying. If you are playing music or have the TV on that may not be a problem for you.This glider design has both a lip at the front and the back. My men's size 11 feet fit nicely with just socks on but when using the glider while wearing my shoes the tips rest on top of the front lip. The glider is still usable but I have to make an effort for my shoes not to come off of it. Once I've been using it longer I'll update this review with how the ball bearings are holding up on carpet. I also plan to try the glider with a mat once that order arrives.

Works well for my patients after knee surgery but a strap would improve the design to keep their feet in place.

I got this for my husband to try using right after he had his knee replaced last month. They start you on your rehab right away at home. There was no way it was going to work for him on any carpet. The muscles of the knee are not working enough at that point to pull or push it with his own force. He tried it on the hardwood floor and the rollers helped, but when pushing it out, the back of it would drop to the floor from the weight of his foot and the front would pop up and then it would flip to one side. Again - shortly after replacement, there isn't enough muscle control in the knee yet to manage this.Perhaps for someone further along or using it more for other knee issues, but definitely not straight out of knee replacement as it suggests.

Very cheaply made

This glider is helpful for gentle motion exercises with as much assistance as needed for guiding your knee through range of motion exercises. This smoothly glides on the rollers over hard surface flooring. You can hold the ropes to pull the knee in some or just to guard it while you rely more on using the knee/leg itself. This is great for recovery from injury or surgery and it is helping multiple members of our household who have gone though both.

But better suited for hardwood floors and for the price, leaves something to be desired.Light plastic device to rehabilitate the knee. Drawstrings are attached and rolling balls at the sole.Recommend it be used for hardwood floors as it gets caught in carpeted floors.The price is high and believe for the price, it’s not worth it.Overall, it’s effective but again, there are similar items for the same price.Quick shipping and simple packaging.
