The video presents a range of patients with different diagnoses using the AlterG - the anti-gravity treadmill:
1. A Parkinson's patient walking safely, allowing her to stay mobile and improve her condition
2. An overweight patient enjoying running for the first time and losing weight
3. A triathlete recovering from an injury and competing again
4. An injured cop recovering from an injury, enabling him to return to his job
I just came across this product. It seems to me that it would benefit these kinds of patients since it allows pain free movements that they would otherwise not be able to do - a fact good for both the musculoskeletal and the neurologic rehab process. This fits very well with the functional rehabilitation a Physical Therapist should focus on.
