How does our AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ work?
We have special shorts (all sizes available) that you put on over your clothing. The shorts have a zipper that goes all the way around your waist and zips into the treadmill, ensuring that no air leaves the chamber from the waist down. When we turn the machine on, the back end inflates like a bubble, increasing the air pressure and reducing your weight up to 80%.
The treadmill functions like any treadmill, with a belt at the bottom that moves, causing you to keep moving forwards (or backwards!). On the screen, there is typical speed, distance and time data. But there is also live data that shows body weight percentage (how much the treadmill is reducing your weight), cadence (steps per minute), stride for each foot, a camera that shows you what your feet look like while walking/running, and a scale asking you to rate your pain.
Pain normally decreases while using this treadmill because there is less pressure on the bones and joints, allowing you to walk without pain, as unusual as that might be. This mobility increases chances of a speedy recovery.
Our patients tell us walking on this treadmill feels like walking on the moon.
