[0002] Degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee is a common and frequently occurring disease in orthopedics, and is more common in the elderly. Knee replacement is a commonly used surgical treatment for this disease. Postoperative rehabilitation functional exercises are particularly important for the patient's recovery. Postoperative rehabilitation functional exercises are mainly based on the flexion and extension of the knee joint. Common rehabilitation equipment on the market is often expensive, which increases the cost of rehabilitation and brings a certain financial burden to patients. Bicycles are a common means of transportation, and the pedaling action is a good flexion and extension movement of the knee joint. However, patients cannot ride bicycles directly for rehabilitation training. First, safety issues cannot be guaranteed, and second, the leg force required for direct riding is relatively large, which does not meet the needs of rehabilitation training. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the vehicle and lift the rear wheel so that the patient can complete rehabilitation training on the spot on the bicycle. Utility Model Content
