Quite the opposite. Elliptical trainers are great for people with knee injuries. Elliptical trainers limit the strain on your knees because it is a non-impact machine.

Treadmills have a moving belt while elliptical trainers have two foot pedals guiding movement - making it more controlled and safer. Elliptical trainers also have handles, in which the user has the option to move their arms in opposition to their legs to better control movement.
