The Road to Recovery Begins Here
For your post-operative and post-injury patients, AlterG’s unique unweighting treadmill provides the opportunity to include closed kinetic chain functional rehabilitation earlier than ever before. AlterG is FDA cleared to safely provide a functional rehabilitation tool for any of your lower extremity patients who are:
- Approved by their treating physician for at least 25% partial weight bearing
- Allowed to flex and extend their hip, knee, and ankle through a limited range of motion
This revolutionary rehabilitation equipment also provides “prehab” conditioning with significantly reduced pain. Patients who try the AlterG treadmill overwhelmingly prefer it and 100% of those surveyed say they like it.
Orthopedic Functional Rehabilitation
- Enables pre-surgery conditioning with significantly reduced pain (prehab)
- Expands the concept “Weight Bearing As Tolerated” from 20% of body weight to 100% in 1% increments, so patients can specify exactly where exercise becomes pain free and progress can be easily tracked and charted.
- Provides precise early partial weight-bearing following injury or surgery to restore natural gait, range of motion and improved patient outcomes
- Prosthetic training with improved balance and confidence
- Neuromuscular and proprioceptive re-training
NEUROLOGIC RETRAINING
- Neuromuscular and proprioceptive re-training
- Improves neuromuscular control and activity and promotes brain plasticity
- Enhances balance and confidence while emphasizing improved gait and stride length
- Provides a safe environment for multi-task training and learning
- Enables higher work load and training intensity for cardiovascular health and gait
- High-degree of comfort and minimal fear of falling
- 80% of target maximum heart rate exercise for longer periods of time
Weight Loss and Weight Control
- Exercise at fractional body weights to control metabolic workload and musculoskeletal strain while optimizing gait and range of motion
- Exercise at reduced body weights to minimize joint stress and pain
- Promote full range of motion to train for normal joint health and function
- Motivation, empowerment and compliance enhanced from experiencing immediate perceived weight loss
- Renewed functional capacity
- Improves cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health in individuals that can’t exercise regularly
- Accommodates individuals with up to 58” waist
- Makes it possible to run (even for very obese individuals)
Older Patients’ Strengthening and Conditioning
- Exercise at fractional body weights to overcome mobility challenges in older patients
- Promotes cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health in a safe environment
- Strengthening and improved coordination of muscles thereby protecting surrounding joints
- Builds confidence in older patients for improved functional capacity
- May lower the risk of falling
“I believe the AlterG will become the standard in rehabilitation and training.”
