Where should you place your feet on the pedals?

An often overlooked part of riding a recumbent bike is foot placement on the pedals. Most bikes have a foot strap to help hold your foot in place, but it is often recommended to remove the straps when using a bike for rehabilitation after a total knee replacement. Once you remove the straps you will be able to position your foot closer to the heel on the surgical side while keeping the nonsurgical foot placement closer to the ball of foot. In essence this allows you to shorten the surgical limb which results in less knee flexion during the revolution. As your range of motion improves you will balance both feet on the pedals equally and start to focus more on building endurance.
