OPTP Knee Glide by Bob and Brad – Shoulder & Knee Glider for Rehabilitation

Really good if you have knee replacement or revision surgery. It works really well.

It helps a lot during my tkr recovery.

The knee slide definitely makes flexibility exercises easier since there is a smooth gliding motion forward and backward. I rated it 4 stars because the attached elevation stand does not have a stability feature — it regularly collapses suddenly while using it raised. For the high cost, this tendency to collapse under use should have been addressed by adding a clip to hold the stand in the raised position.

I purchased this product for PT purposes pre/post total knee arthroplasty surgery. This product is lightweight, well-designed. convenient and able to provide multiple therapy functions related to range of motion, joint and muscle strength, promoting synovial fluid and increasing blood flow. I like the fact it can be used anywhere--carpet, hard surfaces and on top of a bed, sofa, massage table and such. It stays put and glides smoothly. The product was designed by physical therapists which is a big plus in my book. Having worked in the medical field most of my life, using products developed by people who actually do the job make life so much easier. I would highly recommend this product for use after shoulder surgery or injuries as well considering what I had to use after my fractured shoulder and my husband had to use post rotator cuff repair.

We bought this slide after seeing a video by Bob and Brad on exercises for knees. My wife had a Total Knee Replacement in October (now February). We purchased it in June to do the exercises pre-surgery recommended by the surgeon. She has used this slide every day going on nine months, pre-surgery and post-surgery. It is wonderful. With a knee replacement you need to bend the knee to prevent scar tissue from developing which can cause your knee to become locked with little movement. It also helps build the muscles back after surgery. It was one of the absolute necessary items on the list to buy before a Total Knee Replacement. A++++

I had a total knee replacement six weeks ago. The Knee-Glide has been great for working on my range of motion. It moves smoothly and gives me an easy way to work my knee while sitting at my desk. It has a stand that swings down and elevates the end of the KG. Great, except it doesn't snap into place. I'll set it up and everything's fine until I try to move KG a bit. The stand collapses, the KG falls flat, and I have to reach down and pick up the KG to reset the stand again. It really needs some way to lock the stand in place. This is annoying enough to drop my rating down to three stars.

My wife and I started using the Knee Glide about a week ago. We both have issues, mine are worse as I am waiting for surgery. I have done lots of stretches several days a week to loosen things up. After several days of using this I noticed my walking was improving and this is on country roads as I walk the dog. This is not to say the pain of worn out knees has gone but I am already noticing that walking up and down stairs is easier and walking is more like walking. We could not find any information on the number of reps to do, so my wife started with 20 times on each leg as she went three different ways of doing it. I started with 50 reps and that caused some soreness the next day so I cut back to 30 and that was better. So I can see how this would really help after surgery, great invention by the famous physio guys.

Exactly what you need if you've had a knee replacement, or a manipulation after replacement. You are able to do best of flexion and extension with minimal resistance making it easier to bend further. I use for Home PT, but it is great when knee is hurting, you can do 10-40 reps just to loosen & relieve pain. GREAT DEVICE!!!

If you are looking to rehab your knee (post-injury, post-surgery), this is a great tool to help with your range of motion in the critical early rehab phase. I had my knee replaced last December and ROM is important to re-establish. This device helped with that, having an easy glide that allowed to control the extent to which I bent my knee, slowly allowing me to bend my knee more and more. Recommended.

Well-made and a good quality item, too. Arrived when expected, in a sturdy cardboard box.

I recently had my right knee replaced and this helps with the bend Easy to use. Glides well!!!

Hinge to raise the knee glide should lock in place that’s the only beef about it

Excellent for exercising after total knee replacement surgery An absolute must Delivery took a very long time, there were multiple delays and that was annoying So if you’re scheduled for a surgery don’t wait, order it in advance
