Can this be used by short legged women?

You can use a low chair, or move it as close as you want. The unit is adjusted by your seat height and distance from the chair.

Yes just bring the machine closer to your chair or sofa. For longer legs push the machine further away from you.

I don't know. My 94 year old mother tried to use the machine and it scooted across the floor for her. She's not very tall. I'm sorry I can't address your question beyond this response. I'm 5/7" and it didn't run smoothly for me. Mom said it didn't run smoothly for her either.

Since there is not a chair/seat attached, I would imagine it could be used by someone who is short. The user would just have to use a chair that is height adjustable or appropriate for their height...probably best if the feet easily touch the floor when sitting up. The cycle can then be moved closer or further from the chair based on what is a reasonble distance so you neither have to stretch the legs out too far, or are bending the knee straight up, either of which would be uncomfortable.

Yes it can be for some smaller limbs down low. Then again, you could also use a bow saw for that type of trimming close to the ground. However the saw blade does have more leverage when used with one pole section.

The Velcro on the support will attach to any part of the top surface, so you should be able to use it, even if your thighs are smaller.

I don't think so. It is smaller (shorter) than a standard chair. I have to use cushions for myself and I am 5 feet 2. Although a woman at church has one and she is six foot, and she helps whom ever is pushing her by using her feet. The wheelchair legs are very short. I hope I helped. It is a great chair.

The backrest support would probably work well for shorter people. What probably won't work is the seat height if you have shorter legs. I am 5.7 and wish that the seat platform would lower another inch or more. Your heels may not touch the ground comfortably with this chair on its lowest setting.

I don't believe 5' 2" is too short. The chair is adjustable, and you should be able to find a comfortable position.

It was too high for me and I'm an average size woman. I returned it, but if you are taller it would probably work for you

I'm 5'4 and it works great for me. It has several height adjustments and I know I don't work from the lowest one so I would think it would work for somebody a few inches shorter.

Yep, agree with M. Sypherd. I have the one with the short legs, and use it on a table.

My little girl can fit on it, but if you have really short legs it might not work.

I believe so. My wife is 5'1 (barely but thats what she says) and it work great for her. It can pull pretty tight across the body if needed.

If you're light enough and shorter, you probably could, but it certainly was not designed for it. I would say no in general.

Yes, it will probably be short, but needs to be worn with spandex type shorts under it anyway. It is very shear.

I don't know my husband is short. It does go way back from where we use it. What I did was go to a sporting goods store that sells exercise equipment and sat on it. I found it to be very comfortable. Then I went home and bought it from Amazon. I am so very happy with my choice. My husband is also.

I don't know. The legs are well designed to be shortened or extended. Perhaps you could slide out and remove the adjustable "inside" leg tube.

No, it does not adjust for shorter persons. I had to give mine away, because I missed the send back date. I was very disappointed and thought it was advertised incorrectly.

Nope! It seems to work better for shorter people (unless the tall person has a very tall desk!). I'm 5'4" and it works great for me & my shorter co-workers.
