SOLDIER ON WITH ALTERG

POWERFUL, EFFECTIVE, FAST REHABILITATION

With over 30 machines installed at military rehabilitation

centres across the country, the AlterG is already
beneiting hundreds of serving men and women as well
as injured veterans. Engineered by NASA, this unique piece of
equipment offers a revolutionary approach to rehabilitation and

performance enhancement by defying gravity.

It’s widely known that the body heals better and faster with
a structured therapy and exercise program but that is not

always possible with injured service men, women and veterans;
particularly if they are suffering from lower extremity injuries or
fractures. However the AlterG applies a lifting force to the body
that reduces bodyweight by up to 80%, lowering the impact
on joints and muscles. By using the AlterG, patients are able to

return to activities such as walking and running quickly, normalise
gait mechanics whilst protecting healing tissue and it also allows
patients to maintain their itness levels with aerobic conditioning
while reducing the risk of stressing the injury further.

A form of body weight supported therapy, the AlterG is hugely As the only rehabilitation and training equipment of its kind, the
successful at returning serving men and women back to duty AlterG is particularly effective for a wide range of injuries/conditions
quickly. By using cutting edge Differential Air-Pressure (DAP) including orthopaedic disabilities to the lower body, Traumatic

This allows the user to accurately establish the point that exercise

Defy Gravity

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® M320

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill expands the concept

of “Weight Bearing as Tolerated” by offering precise
unweighting in one percent increments to as low

as 20 percent of the patient’s body weight. AlterG’s
unique precision gives patients the ability to set the

precise point where exercise becomes pain free and
provides clinicians a way to accurately measure patient

progress. AlterG is used and recommended by leading

physiotherapy clinics, NHS hospitals, Military and pro
sports teams.
