Rehabilitate Earlier For Faster Recovery
The orthopedic rehabilitation equipment manufactured at AlterG helps patients recover the skills and develop the strength necessary to resume their daily activities.
Individuals who have gone through joint replacement, suffered muscle or bone damage, or have a degenerative joint disease, often have limited mobility and function, pain, and other complications. AlterG’s Anti-Gravity Treadmill provides orthopedic rehabilitation for a large variety of conditions that affect the lower body skeletal and muscular systems. Injuries involving the lower back, hips, knees and ankle joints can be treated with the Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Functional rehabilitation is often needed post surgery to aid in the healing process for patients who have had total hip or knee replacement, ankle reconstructions, or other operative procedures.
The AlterG is very simple to use, making it a joy for both patients and their physical therapists to incorporate into treatment programs. The ability to use the Anti-Gravity Treadmill early on in rehab sessions makes it an effective tool in assisting with restoring lower extremity range of motion and normalizing gait mechanics. After an evaluation, the physical therapist will schedule the Anti-Gravity Treadmill training sessions based on each patient’s specific needs. The AlterG can be used throughout the recovery process, providing benefits in each stage of rehabilitation.
The advantage of the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is its ability to allow you to be mobile at a fraction of your body weight. By doing this, you can dial in exactly where the pain stops and movement feels good again. This, in turn, gives the patient the opportunity to increase the rate of muscle conditioning and decrease total recovery time.
Studies have shown that using the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill allows individuals to shorten recovery time. Research also indicates that an early start to rehabilitation can optimize functional gains. At AlterG, our focus is to provide technology that promotes early mobility and encourages functional rehabilitation strategies to best meet the needs of each patient. Our goal is to provide rehabilitation equipment that helps each patient:
- regain mobility and function to carry out daily activities
- improve balance
- build strength and endurance
