can resistence be set on low for injured leg

Yes. Adjusts from no resistance to climbing a hill. A bargain for the price.

It has been awhile since my accident, but the low top came somewhere on my upper shin, I am 5'6''. Worked well on stabilizing a broken dancer bone. I also liked it because you could adjust the tightness with the press air bladder. Good luck and heal fast.

Yes, if you bend knee and slip it under your foot, you can buff the bottom of your foot.

No, quite the opposite for me. Unless there is an undiagnosed issue where this type of activity is not appropriate I do not know of issues with its use. For me, I would need more than one use to make this assumption as there may be/ are other causes for achy legs.

There is no adjustment for resistance.... The harder you pull back the more resistance you encounter....

Yes, you can change the resistance. The resistance bands come in different weights (I believe it starts at 2.5 lbs and each band is graded from Level 4 to Level 9. Each level represents an increase in resistance of approximately 2.5 pounds compared to the previous level. Level 5 is standard equipment that came with my chair. I purchased the other levels all in one package).I love this chair! It has helped tremendously with my flexibility and stretching. I am not stiff all the time like I used to be (especially after sitting for long periods of time at work). I actually take a band to work with me and use my feet to hold it down. I work alone on third shift as a helpdesk rep. I highly recommend this chair! Yes, you can change the resistance.

All depends on your injury. If you need to wear one at all, it likely you need to wear it for any prolonged walking.My personal experience with severe ankle injury is that it should be worn more rather than less, combined with carefull excersise - with my Drs advice in mind: " Let pain and swelling be your guide"

I have foot and leg neruopathy. I leave my feet and then my calf on it for about 5 minutes 3 times a day on level 2. but this is a personal thing. I already have damaged nerves in my feet.

It has been a while since I ordered and returned this item. I ordered it for my wife because of back surgeries and "weak legs", but she didn't get to try it since it was the wrong model. Some of the reviews at the time of ordering complained about it being one speed and therefore making it difficult to pedal on hills and inclines. Depending on your child's age it could be a good way to strengthen her legs. Being a retired spec. Ed. teacher, I know this type of exercise is important, but I don't know her particular circumstances. If she has a physical therapist, they would be the best to give advice. Hope this helps.

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 just set it in front of me to try, you can do this as long as you protect your back. In some ways it is more difficult seated, I could feel it in my hamstrings! Good luck, I love my mini stepper.

I would say so. One leg at a time like socks. The main thing is getting past the ankle which can be hard.

If I understand your question the answer is no the adjustment for resistance is on the stand itself. Hope that helps.

I actually have been recovering from an injury so haven't had the chance to mess around with it fully , it's quite possible but I honestly can't say , I think there's a manual online which might answer your question

I would say no. It is better used to wrap around a pole, like smething on your weight bench, and then your ankle. Bring your leg back and exercise your muscles using the resistance the band creates. You can also step into the band each end wrapping around your ankle, and walk sideways across the floor and back, again using the resistance to strengthen muscles. That's how I use them. Good luck.

Sheila, I can't put any pressure on my leg. I was hit by a car and I have nerve damage. I bought the boot to protect it from any bumping.
