AlterG adds a new dimension to the customized treatment and training plans we provide our patients. The Anti-gravity Treadmill is great for runners, rehabilitation, and can help you conquer your mobility impairments. “Resources like the AlterG show Bayhealth’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve in enhancing patient care and rehabilitation.” Anti-gravity treadmills provide a mode of aerobic exercise that impart reduced ground reaction forces and are utilized in the rehabilitation community as well. Inova Physical Therapy Center - Fairfax/Sports Medicine has the revolutionary AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill. For many, it boosts confidence in regaining the ability to walk or run as they used to,” said Trice.

“There’s less pain and no concern about falling. It also helps stroke patients or those with neurological conditions by improving balance and coordination and addressing problems related to dizziness.īayhealth physical therapy team members have been excited to incorporate the AlterG into their patient sessions. Post-surgical patients or those with sports injuries can start rehabilitation sooner using the AlterG due to the bodyweight reduction that lessens the stress on muscles and damaged ligaments. “Benefits are similar to aquatic therapy but without limitations such as fear of water or discomfort about going in a pool.” “Unweighted treadmill therapy is clinically shown to re-educate the muscles and restore range of motion,” said Bayhealth Supervisor of Athletic Trainers Stacy Trice. Without surgery, physical therapy is frequently the best way to recover ligament damage and broken bones. Bayhealth is the first clinic in Kent County and one of only a few in Delaware to have the state-of-the-art equipment. Anti-gravity treadmills, also recognized as zero gravity treadmills, are specialized pieces of equipment that simulate weightlessness by delaying your body into an expandable position. Built-in technology gives real-time data analytics so a patient’s progress can be easily tracked with reporting emailed to a therapist or doctor. It provides live video monitoring and recording to enable better understanding of abnormal patterns as patients walk, run or do weight-bearing exercises. AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill Recover, maintain, and enhance mobility pain-free for orthopedic injury or surgery, neurological conditions, chronic disease. The AlterG system is much more than a traditional treadmill. It uses advanced NASA Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to reduce a person’s bodyweight, allowing for improved lower body movement without pain and, ultimately, a quicker return from injury. Bayhealth Outpatient Rehabilitation, Kent Campus now has the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill®, a new piece of equipment that is revolutionizing recovery in injured patients.
