Does Pedaling Backward on an Elliptical Machine Hurt Your Knees?

Many elliptical machines allow you to move in a forward motion or a backward motion. While you might think that going backward on an elliptical machine could be a risk for your knees, the motion can actually provide benefits to the knees, even if you have a knee injury.
