The AlterG VIA Anti-Gravity Treadmill ensures a reduction in the user's body weight, in addition to the normal functions of a treadmill. Weight bearing adjustment allows patients and individuals to perform standing exercises, walk or run with reduced impact on their musculoskeletal system.

The AlterG® Pro Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ offers elite athletes the latest innovation in post-injury recovery and daily training. With AlterG's patented Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, the AlterG Pro reduces body weight from 100% to 20% in precise 1% increments, allowing athletes to start rehabilitation earlier or increase training volume with a lower risk of injury.

What are the advantages of the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill functionality?

  • All the benefits of weightlessness, but without compromising natural biomechanics;
  • Includes the top model of Woodway® treadmills for enhanced performance;
  • Incorporated video monitoring system for visual feedback on walking;
  • Real-time walking data that increases athletes' motivation with objective feedback on rehabilitation progress;
  • The integrated Stride Smart analysis system measures gravitational load and provides simplified visual feedback on cadence, walking symmetry, and pain levels;
  • AlterG Assistant: maximizes treadmill efficiency with pre-programmed, fully automated workouts and simple tools for developing personalized therapies for athletes.

Therapeutic functions and objectives:

  • Cadence: improving cadence leads to faster walking, better mobility, and enhanced performance;
  • Pain Recording: correlating walking mechanics and the weight-bearing function of the patient/athlete with reported pain scores helps establish optimal parameters for therapy.
  • Weight Bearing Symmetry: improves movement and reduces the risk of pain and joint stress;
  • Step Length Symmetry: improves symmetry for increased step length, better speed, and more efficient walking;
  • Stance Time Symmetry: helps athletes correct asymmetries to improve their stance, achieve normal biomechanics, and increase training speed.

Technical specifications:

  • System for adjusting the patient's weight: 0 – 80% of their weight, in 1% increments;
  • Maximum developed speed: approximately 29 km/h;
  • Minimum developed speed: 0.16 km/h;
  • Negative speed developed: – 16 km/h;
  • Electronically adjustable incline: 0 – 15%;
  • User weight: 38 – 181 Kg.
