Alpha Physical Medicine Center is one of the few Facilities in the Dallas Fort Worth to have the new AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill® M300.

WHAT IS THE AlterG?
When your patients are recovering from surgery or injury, the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill offers a revolutionary approach to rehabilitation – the ability to defy gravity and work towards regaining function like never before. AlterG’s unique differential air pressure technology provides accurate, safe and comfortable partial weight-bearing therapy while promoting normal gait patterns.

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 physical therapy clinics, hospitals, colleges and pro sports teams.

PATIENTS RECOVER AND PREFER ALTERG
The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill provides precise early partial weight-bearing following injury or surgery to restore natural gait and range of motion. It enables neuromuscular and proprioceptive retraining that enhances balance and confidence, and improves gait and stride length. The AlterG also provides “prehab” conditioning with significantly reduced pain. Patients who try it overwhelmingly prefer it and 100% of those surveyed say they like it. 

The Anti-Gravity Treadmill is indicated for:

• Rehabilitation following injury or surgery of the lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle or foot) 
• Rehabilitation after total joint replacement
• Galt training in neurologic patients
• Strengthening and conditioning in older patients
• Weight control and reduction
• Sport specific conditioning programs 
• Aerobic conditioning

ATHLETES TRAIN LIKE NEVER BEFORE
The world’s best athletes and sports teams consider the Anti-Gravity Treadmill an essential part of their athletic conditioning and rehabilitation programs:

• Strengthens and improves coordination of muscles, which in turn protects surrounding joints. 
• Promotes the full range of motion while minimizing stress.
• Enables injured athletes to maximize their fitness retention as they recover.

Alpha Physical Medicine makes the choice to defy gravity, by offering our patients the chance to recover better, and train like they never have before.
