‍Revolutionizing Rehabilitation with the Alter-G

At our clinic, we are proud to offer the Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill, a revolutionary tool that is transforming the way we approach rehabilitation for balance and gait disorders. This state-of-the-art treadmill uses patented anti-gravity technology originally developed by NASA, providing a unique way to restore mobility and improve stability without the usual strain.

How the Alter-G Works

The Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill enables partial weight-bearing therapy by using air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift the user. This reduces the gravitational pull on the lower body, allowing patients to walk or run at a fraction of their body weight. By adjusting the level of body weight support, the treadmill can be customized to suit the specific needs and rehabilitation goals of each patient.

Benefits of the Alter-G

• Reduced Impact on Joints: The reduced weight-bearing environment allows for comfortable movement without the stress on joints and muscles that can exacerbate pain and impede recovery.
• Safe, Controlled Environment for Rehabilitation: Patients with balance disorders can exercise with reduced risk of falls, making it an ideal option for those recovering from neurological and orthopedic conditions.
• Faster Recovery Times: By allowing for early gait and balance training, the Alter-G helps patients regain function sooner, which can significantly shorten overall recovery periods.
• Highly Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of conditions from orthopedic injuries to neurological conditions including stroke and Parkinson's disease, as well as athletes needing to manage or recover from injuries.

Using the Alter-G in Vestibular Rehabilitation

In vestibular rehabilitation, the Alter-G treadmill plays a crucial role by enabling patients to engage in therapeutic exercises that promote vestibular recovery and compensation. It is particularly effective for patients who need to regain their balance and walking capabilities but require a controlled setting to avoid injuries or falls associated with unassisted training.

Who Can Benefit?

• Individuals recovering from injury or surgery: Accelerates the return to normal gait patterns while minimizing pain.
• Patients with neurological disorders: Assists those with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or those recovering from a stroke in regaining mobility and independence.
• Athletes: Enables injured athletes to maintain cardiovascular fitness without risking further injury.
• Elderly patients: Helps prevent falls by allowing safe, supervised walking or running, regardless of balance issues.
