The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill - Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute

“The AlterG took the fear out of
returning to training. It enabled me
to begin running 6 weeks before my
doctor cleared me to run on the ground
and allowed me to incrementally
transition back to full training.”

The new standard of care in rehabilitation and
training, the AlterG ® Anti-Gravity Treadmill ®
gives you the opportunity to exercise without
pain, even while you are still recovering from
surgery or injury.
AlterG’s patented Differential Air Pressure
(DAP) technology, developed at NASA,
applies a comfortable and uniform lifting
force to your body. Integrated into a
high-tech treadmill, AlterG’s technology
offers precise body weight reduction and
an easy-to-use set of controls. And because
the AlterG DAP technology uses air
pressure as the lifting force, it feels
comfortable allowing you to run or walk
normally, with full range of motion.
In fact, the AlterG is the only “unweighting”
device that allows you to exercise at
a reduced body weight while maintaining
normal running or walking mechanics.
