AlterG®
Anti-Gravity Treadmill
What is it?
The AlterG® is the first FDA cleared therapeutic device that allows for precise partial weight-bearing exercise. Developed using NASA technology for exercise programs in training astronauts, AlterG® uses differential air pressure chambers to precisely lift the user from 100% to as little as 20% of the user’s calibrated body weight. Reduction in body weight can occur in 1% increments allowing for a gradual progression into full weight-bearing activities.
