Treadmill exercisers designed to reduce the effect of gravity by using a pressurized-air controlled chamber that lifts the user. These exercisers typically consist of a continuous tread and an electric motor, a pressurized-air controlled chamber that can reduce the patient\'s weight (e.g., in a range from 20% to 100%), controls for the tread (i.e., belt) speed and slope, and a display that shows equipment characteristics and training information (e.g., speed, time, slope ([i.e., elevation]), energy consumption, percentage of weight reduction). Patient air lifting treadmills are used in healthcare facilities and clinics for training and/or rehabilitation; especially after lower extremity injuries, neurological diseases, and/or for exercising aging people.
