- This equipment is designed for patients with low back pain, multiple sclerosis, stroke or spinal cord injuries, among other problems that require physical rehabilitation.
- For its operation it uses DAP (Differential Air Pressure) technology from NASA.
- It is based on precision body weight suppression combined with real-time analysis of steps taken and provides video feedback.
The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is known for its work to take humans into outer space. To achieve all the expeditions, it is also in charge of the development of new technologies that are useful in other areas. Among the most notable is a antigravity treadmill that helps in the training of astronauts and is now available in a Mexican hospital.
All patients who require rehabilitation due to mobility problems or pain will benefit from the new Alter G Stride Smart Antigravity Treadmill. It is a state-of-the-art equipment that uses unique technology in the world.
This innovation is found in this Mexican hospital
This team is designed for the patient who suffers constant pain and who cannot move due to living with problems such as low back pain, multiple sclerosis, stroke or spinal cord injuries, among other problems that require physical rehabilitation. While the most important thing is that the anti-gravity treadmill was installed in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation area of the ABC Campus Santa Fe Medical Center.
Regarding its operation, it uses the DAP (Differential Air Pressure) technology from NASA. It is based on precision body weight suppression combined with real-time analysis of steps taken and provides video feedback.
By using the antigravity treadmill people will be able to move in a new and pain-free way, recovering not only their mobility but also improving their physical performance. To achieve this, the treadmill uses air in order to reduce the weight load in a comfortable and precise way. In this way, it manages to reduce up to 80% of the person’s body weight.
Thanks to this, the patient will benefit from a reduction in joint impact and the force of gravity, without compromising the natural biomechanics of the body or its proper rehabilitation. Additionally, the person will be able to stop using crutches or walkers because the treadmill provides greater security and stability even for users without physical condition.
Other advantages for patients undergoing rehabilitation
The benefits of rehabilitation with Alter G Stride Smart Anti-Gravity Treadmill They are that it allows the patient a pain-free recovery, with fewer adjacent problems in the posture. It also normalizes gait mechanics and achieves less inactivity due to injuries in the recovery process.
Different areas of the medical sector will benefit their patients with rehabilitation through Antigravity Treadmill. Now they can maximize their time and productivity on the computer through fully automated, pre-scheduled therapy sessions. They can also be stored in a digital library for a better personalized experience for the patient.
