I have a bad back condition and I find this seat to be very comfortable and doesn't interfere with my back. As as far as your knee, I can't see how it would interfere with your seating, as nothing is in your way when you are sitting on it.

I broke both ankles and had to use a wheel chair and a transfer bench worked very well. When I could stand just to move I used the shower seat. I am small and like the shower seat but it does not feel as "sturdy" as the bench. Hope that helps!

I have used this while sitting in my recliner and also while sitting in a dining room chair. I am 4'9" tall so any chair I sit in my feet don't touch the ground. I have a gimpy knee. The main thing is the movement to help circulation, sit in what works for you and happy pedaling!

I bought the chair for my mother and before I received it she had to into the hospital. She was in the hospital for a week and then she had to enter the nursing home. I asked the nursing home if I could bring the chair for her room and they said of course. I carried it up in the box it came in(unopened). The two utility men had in put together in 30 seconds or less. EASY!

I have only used the time feedback. It has worked great for me after knee replacement and a back problem. I would rather take long walks, but this is a good substitute. I also like the fold up feature when I need the room.

I qualify. Had chair for six months now and it has done well. No problems what so every. Use about 8 hrs per day at work. J. Lowrie

No it's putting you knee at risk. The pull can be very strong and stretches really well the entire body. This isn't a good healthy choice in your case. I would look for a sitting position.

Rock... well its not a rocking chair. Its built well over all, no backward motion in it if that is the question. As for extended use - I added another seat cushion, though for most that probably wouldn't be necessary. The extra cushion also adds a bit more height to the chair as I like to keep my workstation KB and Mouse platform a bit higher than the work table. Ive sat in it for hours a a time with no adverse issues... as I said in my rating description... love the chair! if you get one that doesn't have the seat back locking problem - I think most anyone would be very pleased ~~

Yes! It worked good for me. I loved the red and many people said they liked it to. It was easy to fold and put in the van. I used it until my knee was better. I will keep it if I need it for my other knee.

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.

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.

Arms raise 90 degrees to align with seat back. Chair performs extremely well although my husband (wheelchair bound) finds the padded seat a little hard. I solved that problem with placing a couple of folded hand towels on each side of seat. The chair is very sturdy and we use it for both commode and shower. The only improvement I would recommend to manufacturer would be an "x-shaped" frame under the seat connecting the legs which would allow individual to back up closer to the seat for transfers. It is a super product and worth the investment.

Very easy comes in two pieces and slides together, I chose regular shipping it was delivered in a few days, although it was a substandard seating area and it was returned and refunded immediately, my new rule is you get what you pay for, I chose to go with a pride mobility chair and we are very happy with our selection.

I purchased the transfer bench for my brother following his release from rehab after breaking his femur due to bone cancer. This was the transfer bench used at the New Braunfels Regional Rehabilitation Center for all patients. My brother weighed about 180 pounds and it worked well for him to easily transfer to the tub/shower. I know there were several patients that weighed more than my brother and the bench was very sturdy and stable. He was very pleased with it. It was comfortable and made the transfer into the tub very manageable with his injury.

I use this chair for as long as 6 hours at my desk. I purchased it when I was dealing with a hip flexor injury. I find the chair to be perfect! No pain in my hip after "sitting" for long periods of time. I purchased a second one for my desk at home.

This chair is over built and is awesome it sit's aprox the same height off the ground as a standard folding chair with the depth of the seat being a bit deeper than a folding chair!! With that being said it also allows the user to sdjust the seat back for lower lumbar support I give it a 10 outta 10 and would buy another !!!

This unit is not designed to be a seated walker. That being said, I just sat on it and took it for a spin around the house. My ankle is healed to the point that I can put limited weight on it, so I was able to try this. I actually find it more stable seated than with one knee on the knee rest because I was able to have both feet on the floor rather than just one creating a wider base of contact with the floor. Mind you, the knee rest is narrow, designed for a knee and not a backside, but it was actually pretty comfortable just the same. I'm 5'7" and weigh about 175 lbs., so my backside isn't very large which may contribute to the comfort factor. I tried this with the knee rest at the knee height position, lowest for me, and at it's highest position. It seemed to work well in both configurations. There doesn't seem to be any problem with weight distribution as the knee rest only moves back approximately 1" between the lowest and highest positions. I hope this helps.
