Abstract
A balance board including a platform and a first balance block. The platform having a top side and a bottom side that is opposite the top side. The platform is sized and dimensioned to receive a single foot of a user thereon. The top side of the platform may include a mechanoreception stimulation surface that is configured to mechanoreceptively stimulate neurons within the cutaneous skin of the user. The first balance block is removably attached to the bottom side of the platform. The first balance block that is configured to proprioceptively stimulate neurons within muscles, tendons, or joints of the user.
Claims23
A balance board comprising:
- a platform having a top side and a bottom side opposite the top side, the platform sized and dimensioned to receive only a single foot of a user thereon, the top side of the platform includes a mechanoreception stimulation surface configured to mechanoreceptively stimulate neurons within cutaneous skin of the user;
- and
- a first balance block removably attached to the bottom side of the platform, the first balance block selectively attachable to the bottom side of the platform at any position between a first side end of the platform and a second side end of the platform, opposite the first side end of the platform, the first balance block configured to proprioceptively stimulate neurons within muscles, tendons, or joints of the user.
A balance board comprising:
- a platform having a textured first side and a second side opposite the textured first side, the second side including a first part of a two-part fastener, the platform sized and dimensioned to receive a single foot of a user thereon, the textured first side configured to mechanoreceptively stimulate the user;
- and
- a first balance block including a second part of the two-part fastener, the first balance block removably attached to the second side of the platform, the first balance block configured to deform omnidirectionally around a perimeter thereof to proprioceptively stimulate the user.
A balance board comprising:
- a platform having a top side and a bottom side opposite the top side, the top side including mechanoreception stimulation surface, the bottom side including a securement surface extending along a length of the bottom side between a first side end of the platform and a second side end opposite the first side end, the securement surface being a first part of a two-part fastener;
- and
- a first balance block removably attached to the bottom side of the platform and positionable at any position between the first side end and the second side end, the first balance block including an attachment surface mateable with the securement surface to attach the first balance block to the platform, the attachment surface being the second part of the two-part fastener.
A method of assembling a balance board comprising:
- selecting a configuration and a composition for the balance board from one of a first configuration, a second configuration, or a third configuration and a first composition, a second composition, or a third composition;
- and
- attaching balance blocks to a platform of the balance board such that the balance board is in the selected configuration and has the selected composition, the platform including a securement surface that is a first part of a two-part fastener, the balance blocks including an attachment surface including a second part of the two-part fastener, the balance blocks attached to the platform at any position between a first side end of the platform and a second side end of the platform, opposite the first side end of the platform, by mating the attachment surface and the securement surface.
