All-in-all Drive Medical Pedal Exerciser is a high-quality item, not some chintzy thing and it appears to be made to last. Also recommend anyone with knee arthritis to check out Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis. It’s a very substantially constructed item- nothing cheezy about it.

The great thing about Drive Medical Pedal Exerciser is that it is simple to assemble: two screws attach the 2 feet parts to the peddle mechanism and those screws have nice, large, smooth knobs that you turn to tighten down- no sharp ends or tiny screw heads requiring any tools to try to work with arthritic fingers. Also, the knob regulating peddle resistance of this Drive Medical Pedal Exerciser is smooth and well-made too. This is a great feature- being able to make it harder to peddle as you get stronger (this way you can continue to get stronger). Foot peddle straps are nice and large and there’s no open peddle mechanism or exposed chain to get clothing caught in- and the peddling action is very smooth.
