Abstract
A gait training board, including a flexible base board having a plurality of holes on the top for mounting a plurality of pebble-like convex moldings of different sizes, and a plurality of fastening elements inserted in the holes from the bottom to secure the pebble-like convex moldings in position through plug-in corrections. The pebble-like convex moldings each have a magnet fastened therein to produce magnetism over the board.
Claims2
A gait training board comprising:
- a) a base board formed of flexible plastic material and provided with a plurality of mounting holes therethrough and a line of connecting holes therethrough;
- b) a plurality of pebble-like convex moldings, each convex molding including a circular blind hole at a bottom portion thereof and a magnet disposed within the blind hole;
- c) a plurality of fastening elements, each fastening element including a circular column extending outwardly from a top portion thereof, the circular column being dimensioned for insertion within a circular blind hole of a convex molding for securing the molding and fastening element together;
- d) the convex moldings being disposable over the mounting holes of a top side of the base board and secured thereto by inserting the circular columns of the fastening elements through the mounting holes from a bottom side of the base board into the circular blind holes of the moldings;
- e) the connecting holes being disposable in vertical overlapping alignment with the connecting holes of another base board for permitting two base boards to be connected together by inserting the circular columns of the fastening elements through the aligned connecting holes and into the circular blind holes of the convex moldings;
- and
- f) wherein, when the convex moldings are secured to the fastening elements, the magnets of adjacent convex moldings are positioned in opposite polarity to each other for producing a magnetic field over the board.
