I know this can first but is this a kneeling version of the Stamina InLine Traction Control System and is there a need to kneel ??

Yes, this is the kneeling version. As you know, there is a standing version that can be seen in the catalogues. I cannot attest to the stability of that version. I prefer the kneeling one, and use it on my bed. They recommend a floor position, but I can't get back up again if I try to do it low-down. I am VERY comfortable with it's stability on the bed, and actually feel quite safe, as I can't fall off ! Yes, one approaches the stretching position from a kneeling stance, leaning into the gadget, then over the frame, to stretch. It is easy on the knees, especially when used on the bed, which the inversion tables are not. I couldn't use the inversions table because of the strain on my knees. There is no knee strain with this machine. : )

Yes, this is a kneeling model, but that doesn't mean that you need to keel on the floor. I put mine on my bed (it's light enough to place on top of the bed) and then kneel on the bed to get into the correct position to stretch the back. Also, you can then fall off sidewise to de-mount, resting on your side until you are ready to get up and go about your activities.

No. This is to put pressure on the patella tendon. This is not used for any protection of the knee.

Have not taken it outside yet. I use it mainly in the house which has rough terrain just as irregular. However any thing designed like any knee walker tipping is always possible. I would suggest to practice with it to see how it handles for you. Quoted Over all it works well for me.

I hadn't thought about this before, but I went and looked after seeing the question. There is a slight angle to the controls, so a person is able to see controls from above. You do not have to bend or kneel directly in front; just look down. I have had the unit for a few years now, and am really happy with it.

Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard... Have fallen on rocks hidden under snow without issue. I can 'take a knee' when i want to, need to. I'll not board without them. For the price, I'd suggest just trying them out. or perhaps, go to home depot, take a pair of knee pads and see if you're able to 'take a knee' without pain. I'd suspect that pain would be due to pressure of kneeling / pressure of weighting your knee, as opposed to any pressure of the ground puts on your knee. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if you were kneeling on a mattress, or concrete.

No it is not. It also is designed poorly causing to great of an angle at the knee.

I think it would be too powerful for the knees. There are only two speeds and both are quite forceful.

iIwould not advise it. Sitting and kneeling is what it's designed for in my opinion.

There is one adjustment that tilts the seat and knee rest at the same time. It's pretty easy to adjust. But, the knee rest and seat cannot be adjusted individually. However I've never felt the need to have to do so.

There is little to no kneeling involved. In both the 30 and 57 minute dvds there is something called 'knee dancing.' It is super hard and only lasts for a minute or two and works the top of your thighs. But it is not in a kneeling position.

I bought the knee walker for a friend and assembled it myself. Within the description it says "easy folding mechanism that collapses via a thumb-release lever." If I remember correctly, the steering column folds down a bit if you need to get it in a tighter space. By the way, my friend loves this knee walker and tells me so every week.

it's supposed to be, I bought it for my Kids as each has a place and need it from time to time. They love it, i am not allowed to get on it because of my knees. sorry but i'm not using it the kids are.

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.

Has not been a problem for our use. I suppose you could get a piece of piece of foam padding about 1 1/2 to two inches thick and tape it to the knee pad. Too much padding may cause problems with steering, control of the scooter

Absolutely you can use it as a tool inside as well as outside. I love this innovative helper in whether you kneel to do something because it has a padding for the knees and helps you get back to your feet or you can even sit on it instead of standing on your legs but make sure you have your balance if you use it to sit on.

Yes! I have not earned the 77 year credit you have, but I'm close enough! You will need to have sufficient arm strength to assist in lifting yourself from the kneeling position, but the "arms" of the device are sturdy and strong enough to provide support.

There's actually very little dancing. They try to hide the workout by making it look like dancing, but it's really not. There is a lot of twisting & the modified is very little modification (essentially walking instead of jumping). I don't recommend it for anyone with weak knees, he constantly gives safety reminders due to all the knee action involved.
