These allow injured runners to return to training sooner.
out of Duluth, Minnesota, uses its patented “Lift from the Hip” technology to “provide support right at the [runner’s] axis of movement,” according to sales and marketing director Bud Trnka. A frame akin to a power rack is installed around an existing treadmill, and support cords connect to the user’s hips via a company-made belt or pair of compression shorts.
By standing on a scale on the treadmill and adjusting the metal cross bars until the desired amount of bodyweight has been offloaded, running impact force can be reduced between 20 to 40 pounds, without inhibiting stride or arm carriage. The crossbars can easily be removed from the frame while the system is not needed.
Although LightSpeed Lift was born in 2011 when physical therapist Malcolm Macaulay wanted to help the victim of a severe neck injury return to “his greatest love,” the contraption has since won over athletes of all stripes. Olympic runner says, “It makes training, recovering from workouts, and coming back from injury much more possible, feasible, and effective.”
