Hey guys,

Dr. Giotikas told me that, even with Precice nails, they use an antigravity treadmill so you can "walk" everyday. He sent this link:
It seems amazing, but... how do they get you in if you can't walk? I'm really paranoic about breaking the fragile Precice nail, so I would love to know if someone has experience with this.
Thanks¡

lmao. That's pretty hilarious. Reminds me of:



Pretty cool though and a good idea.

Probably they hoist you in and out with a patient lift like one of these:

NASA also use it for their astronauts: https://www.nasa.gov/offices/oct/40-years-of-nasa-spinoff/anti-gravity-treadmill

They have an Alter-G at Paley's.  I've used it.  Essentially you step onto a platform and the plastic is raised around you, zipped up, and the air is pumped in.

So, is it only Paley and Giotikas who use Alter-G now? Any other experiences from other doctors?

the alter-g at RIAO is busted, but they are ordering two new ones apparently. I didn't get to use it much as a result.

I prefer hydrotherapy since you can do more of it on your own, but can see the advantages of alter-g in terms of fine-tuning the weightbearing amount (turns out pool floors can be quite uneven).
