How does it work?
Originally conceived by Dr. Robert Whalen to design effective exercise regimens for NASA’s astronauts, Differential Air Pressure technology has been adapted by Alter-G for use in training and rehabilitation. Unweighting is achieved in the Alter-G by using air in a pressure-controlled chamber to gently lift the user. Prime calibration using the patented technology allows for very specific unweighting from 100-20% of the users body weight in 1% increments—something no other unweighting modality can do. Cleared by the FDA in 2008, the Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill is a medical device that can be used for:
••• Rehabilitation of lower extremity injuries
••• Treatment of neurological conditions
••• Weight reduction
••• Aerobic conditioning
••• General training to combat the diseases of aging
Professional sports teams and elite medical facilities are using the Alter-G to revolutionize recovery programs. Now you, too, can rehab and train like never before.
