Section 11: Calibration
If you had your Anti-Gravity Treadmill prior to installing the Via400, you may notice
differences in the calibration. We have implemented a smarter calibration process,
which can cause:
•
Faster calibration process
•
Stronger pressure in the calibration process
•
More accurate unweighting
•
Inability to unweigh every patient down to 20%
The inability to bring someone down to 20% body weight is due to an increased
accuracy during the initial calibration process. If the AlterG is unable to get the user
down to 20% during calibration, it will only allow them to unweight themselves to the
lowest
accurate body weight point. (i.e. – If a patient is limited at 37% body weight, this
means during calibration the AlterG could not get them to go below 37%.) There are a
few factors that can cause this, and it should not be of concern unless persistent with all
users.
The following may cause an inability to reduce body weight down to 20%:
•
User moving during the calibration process
•
Body composition
•
Wearing old shorts (with leaks, tears, or holes)
•
Old bag (with leaks, tears or holes)
