G-Trainer
Introducing the G-Trainer™
A NASA developed Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ that helps patients recover faster from orthopedic and neurologic conditions. The G-Trainer™ is the first FDA cleared therapeutic device that allows precise partial weight bearing exercise with natural, closed chain activity.
How Does it Work?
The G-Trainer™ creates a powerful lifting force, known as Advanced Differential Air Pressure Technology (ADAPT), that allows for precise ultra-low impact ambulation. The user wears a special pair of shorts and zips the waist into a pressurized airtight enclosure, which is suspended over the treadmill surface. By controlling the pressure in the enclosure, the clinician can accurately reduce the weight of the individual by as much as 80%. Your client will exercise in comfort, enjoying unrestricted mobility and a natural gait pattern.

What Healthcare Professionals are Saying About the G-Trainer™
“I love this machine, and I tell all of my prescribing physicians about it. Patients definitely feel great when they exercise using the Alter-G™ anti-gravity treadmill. People with chronic pain are running without discomfort, elderly patients are able to maintain their aerobic capacity and it is a great way to maximize brain plasticity. My patients with Parkinson’s Disease can’t say enough about how good it feels to run again.”

"The G-Trainer™ fundamentally allows those with chronic lower extremity injuries to exercise effectively where they otherwise can't. Individuals with Degenerative Joint disease of the knee receive the health benefits of a walk-run program that would be impossible otherwise."

“I believe the G-Trainer will become the standard in rehabilitation and training.”
