AlterG Treadmill: The Anti Gravity Treadmill
The Anti Gravity Treadmill
If you've suffered an injury or gone through surgery, you know the recovery process can be long and challenging. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, a senior citizen or a young competitor, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill can help optimize your treatment outcomes to get you back faster to the activities you love.
Why People Love The AlterG:
Patented NASA technology allows for precise partial weight bearing
Rehab and train like never before
Professional Teams and Elite Medical Facilities are using the AlterG to revolutionize recovery programs
The science of healing and art of training combine here at AlterG to give you back your health faster. That way, you can spend more time living your life, instead of fixing your body.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Originally conceived by Dr. Robert Whalen to design effective exercise regimens for NASA's astronauts, Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology has been adapted by AlterG for use in training and rehabilitation. Cleared by the FDA in 2008, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a medical device that can be used for:
Rehabilitation of lower extremity injuries
Treatment of neurological conditions
Weight reduction
Aerobic conditioning
General training to combat the diseases of aging
Unweighting is achieved in the AlterG by using air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift the user. Precise calibration using our patented technology allows for very specific unweighting from 100-20% of the users body weight in 1% increments. Something no other unweighting modality can do.
Clinical studies show that these amazing treadmills can help decrease ground reaction forces in walking and running. The restoration of normal gait mechanics is paramount to optimal recovery and can be accelerated by our patented unweighting technology.
Why Unload?
Allow for the protection of healing tissue
Encourage range of motion
Earlier initiation of closed-kinetic chain activity.
Prevent disuse atrophy
Encourages more rapid return of motor control
HIGH PERFORMANCE BEGINS HERE
Enhance performance while minimizing the impact
Increase training volume and minimize stress-related injuries
Maximize fitness retention during rehabilitation
"We are keeping our runners running (most of them) while rehabilitating them, we are getting them better faster, we are allowing them to return after injury at the levels they were before injury (no loss in fitness), we are increasing strength and tolerance to activity in a quantifiable way..."
