Hi-Tech Body Weight Support That Puts the “FUN” Back In Functional

Pediatric physical therapists are rapidly recognizing the AlterG® Anti-Pediatric Physical Therapy on the AlterGGravity Treadmill® as an indispensable part of their rehabilitation programs. Using NASA-patented Differential Air Pressure (DAP) Technology, the AlterG provides comfortable body weight support that allows patients to work on standing, closed-kinetic activities, and gait training in a safe, controlled environment. Add to that the ability for kids to feel what it’s like to “walk on the moon,” and it becomes clear why therapists and their patients love it! Pediatric physical therapy has never been this “fun.”

The FDA-cleared M320 Anti-Gravity Treadmill is award winning physical therapy equipment approved for rehabilitation from lower body injuries, neurological re-education, gait training, conditioning, fall prevention, and weight control programs.

AlterG is used and recommended by leading physical therapy clinics, hospitals, colleges and pro sports teams.
