The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill M320 is the market-leading choice for body weight support treadmills because its patented differential air-pressure chamber provides exceptionally precise, repeatable unweighting and a sealed environment for gait training. Compared with harness-style systems like the Biodex Gait Trainer 3 or LiteGait LG500, the M320 delivers finer control and a stronger evidence base for clinical outcomes, though it commands a premium price—an investment often justified by reduced treatment times and strong manufacturer service and training.
