The bicycle provides quadriceps rehabilitation while controlling the stresses to the knee ligaments. With pedaling on the bicycle, forces are applied to the anterior cruciate ligament, the capsular ligaments, and the posterior structures of the knee joint as the tibial plateau is posteriorly tilted. The knee muscles can modify their forces. Therefore, by controlling the mode of cycling with varying seat heights and pedal positions, the ligaments can be relieved from these forces during the initial stages of the rehabilitative process. An exercise program can then be designed to apply controlled stress to these structures to enhance the healing and recovery processes.
骑自行车可在控制对膝关节韧带压力的同时提供股四头肌康复训练。在骑自行车蹬踏时，当胫骨平台向后倾斜时，力会作用于前交叉韧带、关节囊韧带以及膝关节的后部结构。膝关节的肌肉可以调节其力量。因此，通过改变座椅高度和踏板位置来控制骑行模式，在康复过程的初始阶段，韧带可以免受这些力的影响。然后可以设计一个锻炼计划，对这些结构施加可控的压力，以促进愈合和恢复过程。
