Abstract
Vestibular-proprioceptive system training devices and methods of using the same. The vestibular-proprioceptive training device comprises a balance board having an upper surface and an under surface, the upper surface comprising at least one pad, the under surface comprising at least one support pivot located to provide a balance equilibrium position, the at least one pad comprising a volume and formed from a pliant yet substantially fully resilient material. The training devices simultaneously activate the vestibular and proprioceptive system of an individual balancing upon the at least one pad.
Claims20
A vestibular-proprioceptive system training device, the device comprising:
- a balance board having an upper surface and an under surface, the upper surface comprising at least one pad, the under surface comprising at least one support pivot located to provide a balance equilibrium position, the at least one pad comprising a volume and formed from a pliant yet substantially fully resilient material.
The vestibular-proprioceptive system of device 1, wherein the under surface further comprises a rigid platform secured to the at least one support pivot.
The vestibular-proprioceptive system training device 1, further comprising a support tray, said support tray securely receiving the at least one pad.
A vestibular-proprioceptive training system for use with balance boards comprising at least one attachable pad, said at least one pad comprising a volume and formed from a pliant yet substantially fully resilient material.
A method for simultaneous activation of the vestibular and proprioceptive system of an individual comprising:
- providing a vestibular-proprioceptive system training device, the device comprising a balance board having an upper surface and an under surface, the upper surface comprising at least one pad, the under surface comprising at least one support pivot located to provide a balance equilibrium position, the at least one pad comprising a volume and formed from a pliant yet substantially fully resilient material;
- and
- instructing the individual to balance upon vestibular-proprioceptive system training device.
A method of treating a patient with a disorder that affects the vestibular or proprioceptive systems comprising:
- providing a vestibular-proprioceptive system training device, the device comprising a balance board having an upper surface and an under surface, the upper surface comprising at least one pad, the under surface comprising at least one support pivot located to provide a balance equilibrium position, the at least one pad comprising a volume and formed from a pliant yet substantially fully resilient material;
- and
- instructing the patient to balance upon vestibular-proprioceptive system training device.
