My PT said stand-up bike will give better bend, but thank you.

Not sure I would be standing up while riding the exercise bike but I'm old and don't want to risk making it worse.

"Physicians often prescribe the recumbent bike first to get you used to exercising after a knee injury due to it being easier to use than the upright bike. Riders on an upright bike can be tempted to stand up when riding, placing too much strain on the knee."
