STEPPING INTO THE ALTERG
Lower the cockpit so it compresses the bag against the treadmill
surface (Figure 5). Push it all the way down for ease of entry. Enter
from the back and step into the opening in the fabric enclosure. It is
fine to step on the fabric as you enter, but make sure that you have no
rocks or sharp objects embedded in the soles of your shoes that could
mar or damage the bag.
CAUTION: The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill belt operates
like any other conventional treadmill belt. If the patient’s
Base of Support (BOS) is outside of their Center of
Gravity (COG), the belt can slide slowly forward or
backward. This can be alleviated easily by instructing the
user to properly position their BOS.
