How to Enhance Rehabilitation & Improve Athletic Performance with the AlterG

The AlterG® M320 Anti-Gravity Treadmill® provides unique unweighting technology that provides the opportunity to rehabilitate lower extremities and perform sport specific conditioning like never before. Precise partial weight-bearing enables accurate implementation of unweighting protocols not found in any other rehabilitation equipment on the market.

Unlike the simple lift harness devices, AlterG rehabilitation treadmills incorporate differential air pressure technology developed by NASA and enhanced by AlterG to provide precise unweighting in one percent increments to as low as 20 percent of the patient’s body weight. AlterG’s exclusive precision gives patients the ability to set the exact point where exercise becomes pain free and provides clinicians a way to accurately measure patient rehabilitation progress.

There are many benefits of training and rehabbing on the AlterG.

Athletes use the AlterG to reduce the frequency of injury, build fitness and strengthen and improve their muscle coordination. Patients use the AlterG to recover from injury and surgery and it allows them to immediately do partial weight bearing exercises. Patients with neurological disorders maintain, and in some cases even regain, functionality and mobility working with the AlterG. It is also used as a motivational tool for obese patients as users can immediately experience what it would feel like to weigh less, exercise with less joint impact and stress and improve their cardiovascular health.
