ABSTRACT:
A pair of separate but adjacently coupled, flexible, deformable, fluid filled resilient volumes are confined in an enclosure and are connected by a laminar fluid flow maximizing fluid pathway. The volumes, through fluid action, respond reciprocally to each other when body weight is applied alternately to each filled or partially filled volume. Through the use of a variable control fluid port inlet, a variable control fluid port outlet, and a variable control laminar fluid flow maximizing fluid resistance, the volumes characteristics can be modified in firmness, softness, height, depth and resistance to fluid flow. The result of the individual control and the combination of controls, when body force and body weight are applied to the volumes, is to cause the center of gravity of the body to move significantly along, but not limited to, the vertical axis and to cause the user of the device to utilize the muscles of the body in performing body movements of force and counter force when simulating walking, jogging, running, body balance maintenance and other body movements and motions relating to the animal and human body. Consequently, the muscular system and other body systems are strengthened, toned, conditioned, and stimulated.
