i have arthritis in both knees. I wonder if there is any way the top cushion rollers can be heighten enough to put my knees under and use my thighs?

You can easily put your knees under the top rollers and not use them. They can't be moved but there's enough space there.

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.

Not actually, you should be able to lower the weights down to where they would catch the floor. Also, slowly remove your knees from underneath the support pads.

i use it for low back problems. not sure about knee issues. u should ask your doctor if your knees should be elevated.

Yep - that's the limit. Also, you might want to try the exercises in the book "Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis" to make your legs stronger.

I am not sure how effective they are with arthritic knees because I do not have arthritis, however i do think they would be benifical. Extremely supportive with any compounding movements. I would recomend voo voo mobility floss bands. They could help with your knees

My recommendation is "yes". You are putting a great amount of pressure on your knee and though the walker is comfortably cushioned, I would definitely buy a supplemental cushioning device.

I will be 50 in April, have had 6 knee operations, and LOVE this series of workout BECAUSE of its low impact! I am now doing the Master Series and use knee bands for my tendinitis when it flares up, but they don't prevent me from doing the workouts! He shows how to modify the exercises for folks with knee problems and constantly reminds you to protect your knees! Not knowing what your knee issues are, I would say you would be fine. If in doubt, ask your doctor. Good luck!

Yes you can, but I would only buy this if you are wearing some other knee brace on top of it, since this one will roll/slide down your thigh within a few minutes. I got this as a replacement for a bulkier knee brace but end up using it under the of one since that one keeps this up, but this one feels more form fitting.

No you want the cast cover above your knee.Do you need a cast cover for the knee? I had both of mine replaced and took a shower with no cover on my knees!

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

James, this machine only works in the seated position. This is why I bought it. Lying leg curls hurt my knees so seated, I get the same exercise for the most part without the pain... if you want to do the lying leg curls, you can get a bench that has many attachment options, leg curl attachment being one. I hope this is helpful... keep at it.... :)

Yes, I have the same problem in my right knee and that is why I bought these. While the knee can still be in pain, it prevents further irritation and allows me to move comfortably.

I really don't think you will have any trouble with your knees. The seat adjusts on a slide bar that will allow the seat to move back/forward and up/down.

I think y u can use it. My dad uses it. So I donot know exactly. But this one can fit any fat or thin knees since it is freely wrapped

You need enough height under your desk so you don't hit your knees. Try going through the motion of peddling a bike under your desk. The Isokinetic's is about a foot tall so make sure you take that into account.

No problems for me - I've sat on the floor with my lower leg under my upper leg for several minutes. Of course I'm 58 and weigh 150 pounds. These knee pads work the best for me and, believe me, I've tried many different kinds. I recommend them.
