Elderly people use anti-gravity treadmill for rehabilitation training
Experiments have shown that using an anti-gravity treadmill reduces cadence, ground reaction force (GRF), GRF impulse, knee and ankle range of motion, and vertical stiffness, as well as stride duration, flight time, ground contact time, and plantar flexion. raised. Antigravity treadmills are useful for a range of injuries in runners, including postoperative repair of osteochondral defects, stress response (medial tibia, pelvis) and lumbar disc herniation. Runners maintained aerobic fitness, muscle activation patterns, and muscle mass during recovery compared to traditional rehabilitation protocols. Speed or incline can be increased to maintain metabolic demands and fitness while minimizing bone and tissue load. Once able to run pain-free (continuous or intermittent) >95% BWS for >30 minutes, the runner may be ready to safely transition to surface running.
