Abstract
A foot and ankle exercise system including a base, a slant board, and a torque bar. The lower end of the base for stabilizing the base with respect to a horizontal support surface. The slant board is supported at the upper end of the base. The torque bar dimensioned and configured to be disposed adjacent the slant board such that the torque bar extends upward with respect to the horizontal support surface. When the base is stabilized with respect to the horizontal support surface, the torque bar and slant board are positioned and configured such that the slant board is operable to receive a ball of a foot of a user while a heel of the foot of the user applies torque against the torque bar.
Claims18
A foot and ankle exercise system comprising:
- a base having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end dimensioned and configured to stabilize the base with respect to a horizontal support surface;
- a slant board supported at the upper end of the base, the slant board extending along the upper end of the base at an angle with respect to the horizontal support surface;
- and
- a torque bar dimensioned and configured to be disposed adjacent the slant board such that the torque bar extends upward with respect to the horizontal support surface,
- wherein, when the base is stabilized with respect to the horizontal support surface, the torque bar and slant board are positioned and configured such that the slant board is operable to receive a ball of a foot of a user while a heel of the foot of the user applies torque against the torque bar.

- a slant board supported at the upper end of the base, the slant board extending along the upper end of the base at an angle with respect to the horizontal support surface;
- and
- a torque bar removably connected to the base such that a position of the torque bar may be adjusted in relation to the slant board between a plurality of positions, the torque bar extending upward with respect to the horizontal support surface in each of the plurality of positions,
- wherein, when the base is stabilized with respect to the horizontal support surface, the torque bar and slant board are positioned and configured such that the slant board is operable to receive a ball of a foot of a user while a heel of the foot of the user applies torque against the torque bar in each of the plurality of positions of the torque bar.
