Revolutionizing Rehabilitation: The Benefits of the Alter G Treadmill

The Alter G Treadmill is a game-changing device that uses differential air pressure technology to reduce the force of gravity acting on the body. Alter G originally developed for NASA astronauts. By reducing the effect of gravity, our patients can return to movement without pain, improve their well-being and increase their performance.

How the Alter G Treadmill Works

The Alter G Treadmill uses positive air pressure to reduce the force of gravity acting on the body. This technology allows the therapist to reduce patients body weight by up to 80% of their total weight. This means that low-impact, pain-free exercises can be performed, even in the early stages of rehabilitation. As the patient’s muscles get stronger, their self-confidence rises, and their fear of falling decreases.

Advantages of Using the Alter G Treadmill

The Alter G Treadmill adds several advantages into our rehabilitation methods:

• It allows our patients to perform exercises that increase balance, strength and endurance, especially walking and running.

• It provides a safe environment that protects against falling.

• It increases the range of motion of the joint, allowing for wider movements, and the improvement in recorded objective parameters increases motivation.

• It provides walking data in real-time, monitors with video, and accelerates the development of the person’s live feedback gait.

• It is easy to use, and patient compliance and treatment attendance rates are high.

Conditions Treated with the Alter G Treadmill

The Alter G Treadmill is used to treat various conditions, including:

Neurological Diseases:

• Stroke

• Traumatic Brain Injury

• Multiple Sclerosis

• Brain Tumor

• Parkinson’s Disease

Orthopedic Diseases:

• Broken bones

• Anterior cruciate ligament repair

• Hip and knee joint prosthesis

• Achilles injury and repair

• Meniscus repair

• Obesity and Chronic Diseases

We know that walking is a challenging task, and even minor discomfort can make it difficult. The Alter G Treadmill is a powerful tool that allows our patients to regain their mobility and improve their quality of life.
