The problem here isn't the exercise itself but the technique. With most knee injuries people should aim to use hamstrings to elevate the body and not the quads. This will prevent the pressure going into the actual knee joint. Note how all the exercises his knee goes over the toes. with regards to cycling, push rather than pull. It's all about technique guys!!! Sincerely, Biokineticist (SA)

@sandeep1982 Why dont you recommend some excercises, rather being very negative, this gentleman has been kind enough to share what he knows, unlike you .

Yeah right. My torn up acl and meniscus (bone on bone) arthritic knee will do fine.

I tried riding a bike for 8 min at PT and ended up using my cane for 5 days.  I don't think any of these PTs know what their're doing. This exercise is fine if you are younger and recovering from a sprain but not arthritis in my opinion.

These are exactly the exercises my physio therapist prevented me from doing. No semi squats or lunges. U need to go back to school.
