recommendation for knee brace to keep knee aligned to foot and hip on a static bike

Hi Can anyone recommend a keen brace to use on a static bike to keep the knee aligned with the foot and hip?I had a stroke years ago and a hip replacement to my affected side last August and want to get back on my static bike but the physio I am seeing told me to stay off the bike as my affected kneed turns inwards as I pedal. My hip consultant suggested using a knee brace but there are so many to choose from that I don't know which is best. Can anyone recommend one please?

Maybe speak to the Orthotics dept. at your local hospital ; splints and braces are their speciality. Good luck m'dear... x
