Rehabilitation after an injury or surgery can sometimes be difficult because of pain. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, developed with NASA technology, solves this problem by allowing patients to exercise at reduced body weight, while maintaining normal running or walking movements.
At Atlantic Rehabilitation, we offer this anti-gravity treadmill for a wide variety of patients, such as:
- Orthopedic patients with limited strength, weight-bearing restrictions or those recovering from surgery
- Lower extremity amputees learning to use their prosthetic device
- Arthritis patients and older adults whose pain limits their movements
- Athletes recovering from injuries
- Active runners looking to reduce stress on their muscles and joints
- Post-physical therapy patients who want to re-establish an exercise routine
- Neurological patients in need of gait or walking training
- Adults looking to lose weight
With the AlterG, rehabilitation can begin sooner regardless of limited mobility or weight-bearing restrictions. Other benefits include:
- Pain-free movement
- Rapid return of motor control
- Protection of tissue that is still healing
- Improved range of motion
- Smooth progression to full recovery
