Apparatus, in particular for balance training, having at least one movable platform

An apparatus, for balance training and/or fine motor skills training, comprising:

• at least one movable platform which is configured to be moved in an oscillating manner in at least two dimensions, and which has a standing surface configured for a person to stand on and deflect the at least one movable platform on account of his/her own movements and/or counteract a deflection of the at least one movable platform;
• at least one counterforce unit which is provided to oppose a force provided for deflection of the at least one movable platform with a resistance;
• at least one force transmission interruption unit which interrupts a force flow between the at least one movable platform and the at least one counterforce unit in at least one operating state, the at least one force transmission interruption unit comprising a connecting element connected to the at least one counterforce unit, which in the at least one operating state is mounted in a stress-relieved state, wherein:
• in the at least one operating state, the deflection of the at least one movable platform from a rest position takes place substantially free of a counterforce by the at least one counterforce unit, and the connecting element, which is mounted in the stress-relieved state, is first tautened by way of the deflection of the at least one movable platform, and the force flow is guided to the counterforce unit only after complete tautening, whereupon the deflection of the at least one movable platform is opposed by the counterforce by the at least one counterforce unit;
• and
• the apparatus further comprises at least one setting unit which is provided for setting a counterforce strength to the at least one movable platform, wherein the at least one setting unit has a control unit, which is provided to set the counterforce strength, and thereby deflection amplitude of the at least one movable platform, depending on measured values of at least one sensor for measuring the deflection of the at least one movable platform, deflection speed of the at least one movable platform, or deflection acceleration of the at least one movable platform.
