Christus Sulphur Springs Receives AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill Donated by Lights of Life Campaign
[adning id=”33097″]
The AlterG Anti-Gravity treadmill donated by the Lights of Life campaign was delivered to Christus-Sulphur Springs last week. It’s pretty neat! It allows patients to reduce the amount of gravity placed on their lower extremities. This will allow some patients to progress in their physical therapy faster and put less weight on their affected limbs during the course of therapy. The specialist for the treadmill told me that the treadmills are in every NFL training facility and most professional sports facilities. Below is a description from the company’s website.
The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill® enhances therapist’s ability to help patients recover faster and increases the marketability of their practice. Our unique and patented unweighted rehabilitation treadmill technology:
- Allows patients to rehabilitate with less pain while reducing the risk of further injury, which may enable patients to heal faster.
- Provides physical therapists a precise way to track patient progress, keeping patients engaged and motivated during rehab.
- Helps clinics, therapists and trainers set themselves apart by offering the most advanced physical therapy technology available.
- Acts as both a rehab device and wellness tool that gets patients excited to continue using it for training beyond short term rehab.
