Yes it helps but you also require good mobilization at your knee joint by physiotherapist to increase your range of motion (knee bending ) plus good strengthening exercises. .. also the thighs should be properly strapped with machine , otherwise you will lift your thigh after certain degree of bending and it's of no use. .
