Running on an anti gravity treadmill #shorts

[beartinsel]

i’ve actually been on one. it feels really freakin weird

[renegade]

Id reverse it. Do some saiyan training

[Just_Juliana]

I did this for my knees and it’s so much fun!

I'm sure it's being used for therepy and such.
It would be great to use for severely obese people to get strength slowly back in their muscles. A bit like those underwater cat/dog treadmills

Got by me through physical therapy these are amazing !!! i had 3 fractures and this was a major part of my treatment, I will buy one some day

Ah, the running in your dream simulator.

From what I understand, Alter G treadmill requires user to wear a special waist brace.

When the chamber is pressurized with air, the brace essentially lifts the body (i.e. supports the body) to help reduce the amount of weight felt on the lower extremities.

Incidentally, this is the opposite of what the treadmill (COLBERT) onboard the International Space Station does.

Used it a lot after my cervical surgery, great machine

[JCDogboard]

I used one of these quite a few times when getting the strength back in my legs to walk again, pretty neat

[soggypancake]

the hopping was actually how the astronauts on the moon walked like sometimes back during the apollo program

This can be a great therapy tool for stroke survivors who is learning to walk again. Start them off with 0% of their body weight and as they start to gain more motor skills in their legs it slowly increases the body weight till eventually it's 100%🎉

We were filming a commercial for a hospital that had one of these and the actress inside the machine was pushed up and out of the top because the pressure was too high. It was hilarious and she was helplessly getting closer and closer to the ceiling!🤣

I’ve used this at my local PT office when I fractured my knee. The goal is to get the knee moving in the jogging motion but without the weighted load until it heals.

[zachsmomjessica]

I could absolutely do this, how fun !

[Flying]

I’ve tried one a few times and in my opinion the pressure that’s needed even at 50% made my bladder feel so full and I always felt like I needed to use the bathroom 😂😅

[DaveMcIroy]

How does that work? With air pressure pushing you up?

[saucedrappa]

Tore my acl had to learn to run on one of those pretty cool

[glenndouglas]

If you put it in reverse, you travel back through time : True Fact.

[tierrac]

I've been on one when I was doing PT after my ACL surgery

[twenty]

After doing it for weeks, my overall normal speed took some time to get back. It felt like it slowed me down a lot.
