AlterG Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Early Advanced Weight Bearing (EAWB)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Early Advanced Weight Bearing (EAWB) group will receive early weight-bearing treatment using the antigravity AlterG treadmill. These sessions will begin 14-28 days following definitive fixation and last for a total of 10 weeks
Group II: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
The standard of care group will remain non-weight bearing for 10-12 weeks following definitive fixation and receive physical therapy in accordance with standard practice at the treating center.
