The AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill is a unique piece of equipment that reduces the gravitational forces on the body. As a result patient pain is reduced, patient recovery times are improved and patient rehabilitation is optimized. It also helps patients gain mobility and strength while minimizing pain and stress due to an injury.
Injured athletes benefit from the AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill because it reduces compensation and the risk of re-injury while maintaining cardiovascular conditioning. Patients who have used the AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill say it’s like “running on air,” and “it’s so much more fun than normal running, you have to try it to believe it.”
The AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill is used to help patients:
- Recover from fractures, stress fractures and knee or hip surgery
- Restore normal walking and running mechanics while also supporting healing tissue
- Begin post-surgery rehabilitation earlier
- Improve range of motion, movement and motor learning
- Begin early weight-bearing exercises while minimizing the risk of stress-related injuries
- Progress through therapy with less pain and stress in joints and body
- Embody motor learning in a fall-safe environment
- Limit injury downtime by enabling patient or athlete to train through injuries
