Abstract
This research investigates the utilization of the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill by physical therapists and strength coaches in a clinical setting. The AlterG treadmill is a novel rehabilitation tool designed to alleviate gravitational forces on the lower extremities, facilitating early mobilization and functional training. A qualitative analysis of observational data and research articles was done to examine how the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill is integrated into patient care protocols by physical therapists and strength coaches across the United States. The presenting research was conducted by a St. Norbert undergraduate student while interning at Bellin Health Titletown Sports Medicine and Orthopedics.
