Once the immobility is caught a negative cycle that feeds itself develops. Immobility causes myolysis and weight gain, as the muscles get weaker the body gets bulky moving becomes harder. A person in this situation may bewail if only they were as light as feather. Actually, this is possible.

In advanced Physiotherapy and rehabilitation centers Alter G which was inspired from the technology used by NASA that can deactivate gravity is used. In neurological and musculoskeletal system disorders, by deactivating gravity it minimizes the weight that is loaded to the joint and ensures a comfortable and painless movement possibility and it supports muscle strengthening, muscle endurance obtainment, and body coordination.

Alter G, with the anti-gravity walking environment that is developed with NASA technology, is sometimes referred to as the “spacewalk” or “moonwalk” device among patients and relatives.

While the weight felt by the patients can be reduced up to %80, as the patients show recovery and improvement the weight that is given to their feet is reduced gradually. Patients can switch to full weight when their movement capabilities are convenient.
