Cycling despite knee restrictions: our Technogym special ergometer
Ergometer with adjustable crank
After a Knee or hip surgery or Injury mobility is often the biggest obstacle. A normal bike requires a knee bend of over 110 degrees - a goal that often seems unattainable in the first few weeks.
At Physio Waidfuss you don't have to wait: our medical ergometer from Technogym is equipped with a Infinitely adjustable crank handle.
The decisive advantage: We can reduce the radius of the pedaling motion of our ergometer. This means that you can already make a full pedal rotation, even if you can only bend your knee to 60 or 70 degrees. This allows you to start your joint-friendly metabolic training often weeks earlier than in standard practices. You 'lubricate' the joint and build up muscles long before normal bike training would be possible.
