A unique biomechanical balancing and exercising device for rehabilitating body muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in the ankles, legs, knees, and back in order to strengthen these areas to prevent injury. The balancing and exercising device comprises a rectangular shaped platform with a central opening therethrough to accommodate a semi flexible ball member. The platform utilizes a semi flexible ball member so that the individual has the ability to balance in numerous directions and have the angle of drop much steeper. A pair of ball-shaped rigid members are mounted on the platform and located adjacent to and on opposite sides of the central opening for balancing on and securing the semi flexible ball member therebetween. The platform is placed on top of the semi flexible ball member such that the central opening accommodates a top portion of the semi flexible ball member, and thereby allows the platform to be independently tilted or pivoted front-to-back up to a 25.degree. angle and vice versa and side-to-side approximately up to a 50.degree. angle. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is a unique biomechanical balancing and exercising device which can be used in rehabilitation centers to rehabilitate body joints such as ankles, legs, knees, and back in order to strengthen these areas to prevent injury and help the body reach its potential.
Specifically, the present invention balancing and exercising device comprises a rectangular shaped platform with a central opening therethrough to accommodate a semi flexible ball member.
By having the generally rectangular shaped platform instead of the round or square platforms, the amount of the angle between the horizontal ground and the side edges of the platform can be extended to approximately 50.
degree.
.
In other words, if an individual is standing on the platform and it tilts all the way to the left or right sides of the platform, the side edge of the platform touching the ground forms an angle of approximately 50.
degree.
, which is a much steeper angle than is usable with the prior art devices and therefore allows the ankle joints and muscles in the legs to reach their potential and get the benefits of the 50.
degree.
angle of board tilt for the entire body by changing body foot stance.
With the generally rectangular shaped platform utilizing a semi flexible ball member, the individual has the ability to balance in numerous directions and have the angle of drop at approximately 50.
degree.
for stretching the muscles, tendons and joints, much steeper than with the ordinary circular or square type platforms.
By way of example, a basic stance is to have the individual put his or her feet parallel and spaced apart from each other and 90.
degree.
to the platform, where the toes face forward and the platform is in a transverse direction.
By way of example, another stance is to have the individual put his or her feet parallel and close to each other and parallel to the platform, where the toes face forward and the platform is in a longitudinal direction.
The invention facilitates placing two feet at any orientation to activate different proprioceptors
