is a state of the art piece of therapy equipment that enables patients with all types of lower body injuries and ailments to rehabilitate in an altered state of gravity. The Alter-G is a unique treadmill that can un-weight you, allowing you to walk, run, or perform closed-chain exercises within the treadmill earlier in your rehab process.
The Alter-G
Anti-Gravity: the treadmill can be calibrated to decrease your body weight from 1%-80%.
Alter-G is FDA approved to be used safely in physical therapy for any lower extremity patients who are:
- Approved by their treating physician for at least 25% partial weight bearing
- Allowed to flex and extend their hip, knee, and ankle through a limited range of motion
Specifically Alter-G is proven to:
- Minimize joint compression from ankle, knee, hip, into the low back
- Enable proper “prehabiliation” prior to lower body surgeries
- Provide precise implantation of partial weight bearing protocols (to 1% increments) allowing for the safest rehab possible
- Give the patient a stable, safe environment to improve strength, flexibility and range of motion
- Improve neuromuscular and proprioceptive status pre- and post-injury
- Improve prosthetic training
- Allow easy documenting and tracking of patient progress through rehabilitation
The Alter-G is used for:
- Orthopedic Functional Rehabilitation
- Neuro-rehabilitation Programs
- Senior Rehabilitation Strengthening and Conditioning
