Superior, NE – Brodstone Healthcare is pleased to announce the addition of a state-of-the-art AlterG® NEO+ Anti-Gravity Treadmill to its rehabilitation department. This cutting-edge technology provides a unique and effective approach to physical therapy, offering significant benefits to patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions.
The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill utilizes a patented technology that allows individuals to walk, run, and jog while reducing their body weight by nearly 80 percent. By adjusting the amount of air pressure within the treadmill's chamber, patients can effectively offload weight, minimizing stress on joints and muscles. This groundbreaking system offers numerous advantages for patients undergoing rehabilitation, including:
- Pain Reduction: Decreased weight-bearing significantly reduces pain and discomfort during exercise, allowing patients to engage in therapy more comfortably and effectively.
- Improved Gait and Balance: The treadmill provides a safe and controlled environment for patients to retrain their gait and improve balance, reducing the risk of falls and enhancing overall mobility.
- Faster Recovery: By minimizing stress on injured tissues, the AlterG® system accelerates the healing process, enabling patients to return to their normal activities sooner.
- Enhanced Cardiovascular Health: Patients can engage in low-impact cardiovascular exercise, improving their overall fitness and cardiovascular health while minimizing the risk of further injury.
"We are thrilled to offer this innovative technology to our patients," said Spencer Trapp, Director of Rehabilitation Services at Brodstone Healthcare. "The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill provides a significant advancement in rehabilitation, allowing us to deliver more effective and personalized care to individuals recovering from a wide range of conditions."
