A member asked:
Which type of exercise machine can you use if you have cartilage and ligament knee problem?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stationary Bike: Best machines would allow for knee motion without significant load on the knee. That would be something like a stationary bike set to low resistance. Pool exercises are also good.

Limited: Do not use the quad extension machine. The only machine to use would be the supine leg press machine. You can do exercises without machines that would be safer.
