Sponsor's own description

Severe burn injuries are associated with hypermetabolic responses and increased catabolism. These generalized changes lead to a vast loss of muscle mass and cause reduced muscle strength and endurance, limited walking ability, and reduced functional mobility Recently, the antigravity treadmill or lower body positive pressure (LBPP) technology has been developed as a unique system of maintaining a participant's body weight all through treadmill training and developing low-load treadmill walking using a unique treadmill system that allows gaining the benefits of low-load treadmill walking without interrupting with locomotion dynamics
