AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill®

The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is specifically designed to help with training and rehabilitation allowing you to:

• Reduce gravity's impact by reducing body weight by 0–80% in 1% increments.
• Rehabilitate lower extremity injuries with less pain and less impact.
• Improve mobility, strength and safety for those with neurological conditions.
• Provide a safe way to lose weight and exercise more intensively while unweighted.
• Train without pain and reduce the stress to joints and muscles.
• Recover effectively and with less pain after training or competition.

Who is the test for?

The AlterG®Anti-Gravity Treadmill® is frequently used by individuals with lower extremity injuries and also athletes aiming to train with less impact (eg, recovery runs).
