The Physiotherapy Department of Metropolitan General is equipped with the Boost 2 Core Anti-Gravity treadmill by Woodway (USA).
This anti-gravity treadmill enables the physiotherapist to train patients in walking without motor activation, allowing them to perceive a new sensation of weight-free gait, promoting neuromuscular adaptation to a new kinesthetic walking pattern without load. This capability benefits all patients, particularly neurological cases.
Advantages and uses
The Anti-Gravity treadmill is an excellent option for:
- Rehabilitation after injury or surgery due to weight reduction and low joint stress
- High-level athletic training requiring reduced impact and load
- Physiotherapy and orthopedic rehabilitation centers
The anti-gravity load-reduction technology helps maintain muscle mass and cardiorespiratory condition with reduced joint load, while the slat-belt surface provides a more natural running sensation and reduced strain.
