off load mean does it take the body weight from medial effected or injured area

It stabilizes lateral movement of the knee, which occurs when I walk on uneven surfaces or shifts weight from one leg to the other. If you are overweight, it will not eliminate the knee pain from excess weight on the knee. My doctor tells me to lose some weight.

No, it just basically adds more support to that area so that it usually doesn't hurt as much.

Yes, to some degree. It also affects the sternohyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles. To what degree depends on the resistance, which is set by the user.

Yes José you wrap your knees then when you have finished your set take them off. The idea behind wrapping your knees is for support and if wrapped properly ( tightly ) you will have to remove them because it will cut off uour circulation.

Lol! In all seriousness if you distribute your weight evenly and not on sensitive areas I think you will be ok

I purchased this for my girl friend for circulation issues. She said that it goes up to 14. She weighs 122lbs and has not lost weight but is maintaining her weight. She uses the Whole Body Vibration with walking and Zumba. I must say that her issues of pain in her legs are gone! Hope this is helpful.

I usually position it as close to the head of the bed as possible so it won't be in the way when getting in bed so it won't stop you from rolling out of bed but if you are holding onto when transitioning out of bed it can prevent falls. Not sure on weight capacity but most equipment is 250lbs before you start needing special bariatric equipment.

Most of your weight is on your rear. A little weight will be more on your shins than knees, and that's basically to keep you from sliding down.

It can't hurt- active recovery mode is designed to bring blood through the muscles and flush toxins. Tendinitis is not muscle related, and is an injury as I understand it, only gets better by rest. I hate to hera that, but had the same with my elbow from racquetball. Call Hammer Nutrition, they know a lot about the unit

No for it is for broken foot and just rest the knee on it. Will not be able to hold the weight of a whole body

It says it does, however I only think exercise can give the knee strength, I was in roll over accident and have bad muscle/nerve issues and it help keep spams sometimes under control and improves blood flow to muscles etc.

Sorry I don't know as I ended up getting rid of mine. It caused me to have torn ligaments in my back due to the weights!

Well that depends on whether you are trying to work the abdominal area or something else. The peice of equipment works for the lower mid and obliqe portion of the ab area. It dosent work like gravity boots its designed for arms not feet and legs.

Do not know. Look up this tape - Kinesio. What is does for bruises - cuts healing time in half or more. Sprains or strains - it is amazing. Strengthens over worked muscles giving support till able to carry the load again. Check it out.

As with any bicycle type devise, this does work the upper thighs, and the lower calves. It is useful in many positions and great for recovery after surgery. You can adjust the tension to help with the thigh area. It basically depends on exactly what you are aiming to work on. It is not a best for intense exercise, but more for maintaining and healing. You can practically lay down an exercise or sit right up and do it. Used regularly it will keep your legs well exercised, and help in the healing process of surgeries such as knee replacement. It is also well made so it can stand up to time and use. hope this helps. God bless

Not heavy at all - I was able to set it up and move it around even after surgery on my leg - very good product

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. That wasn't even a question I thought to ask...I was walking home one day 2 weeks after knee surgery and I had to pass a Gnc store. The Assistant Mgr. was talking to another customer and I overheard the m talking about this product helped him recover in half the time after a bike injury... I'm an avid walker and was walking 2.5 miles 2 weeks after my surgery. Anywhere there is ANYthing inflamed in your body this product finds it and the healing is immediate..I have 3 of my grown children who are in different levels of physical fitness and they love it as well. I can only say what I know to be correct. I hope this helps you in some way. I know it wasn't exactly what you were asking.

If it's a damaged tendon that hurts to the touch, from experience I can say: 1) These are the exact weights used by the hospital Physical Therapists as ankle weights (and used on me, which is why I purchased them); and 2) I wear heavy socks as a buffer and leave the strap a tad loose on that ankle. I have two white 2 lb. Hausmanns. Hope this helps you!
