Approved by the FDA as a medical device, the AlterG is a high-tech treadmill developed by NASA. It uses a differential air pressure regulation system, which surrounds the user and lifts them up to reduce ground reaction and lower quarter impact forces during weight-bearing exercise. The AlterG can reduce the weight of the user by as much as 80% (in precise 1% increments). People who use the AlterG say that it is like “running on air.
The Next Step in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation:
- Rehabilitating after surgery or injury of the lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle and foot)
- Training through an injury – reduced impact training and conditioning
- Biomechanical gait training with Video Monitoring System to provide patient biofeedback
- Engages patients, increased patient confidence and motivation
- Gait training for neurologic patients. With the body stabilized, there is no risk of falling
