Doha, Qatar: In a major stride towards enhancing rehabilitation services, Hamad Medical Corporation’s Qatar Rehabilitation Institute (QRI) has introduced revolutionary anti-gravity treadmill, specifically for its male musculoskeletal outpatient department, marking a new chapter in patient-centered care.

The state-of-the-art equipment, which leverages advanced air pressure technology to reduce the impact of body weight during movement dramatically improves the recovery process for patients dealing with musculoskeletal conditions and other mobility-related challenges.

Dr. Hanadi Al Hamad, Deputy Chief of Rehabilitation, Geriatrics and Long-Term Care as well as the lead of Corporate Rehabilitation Therapy Services at HMC, expressed her enthusiasm about the transformative potential of this innovative tool.

She stated, “The introduction of the anti-gravity treadmill is a significant enhancement to our rehabilitation offering. It provides patients with a controlled, low-impact environment where they can safely regain mobility and strength without the full weight-bearing stress on their joints and muscles. This is crucial for individuals recovering from serious injuries, degenerative changes or surgeries, allowing patients to begin the rehabilitation process earlier and with greater confidence. The treadmill will enable faster recovery, more effective rehabilitation outcomes and a more comfortable patient experience.”
