ABSTRACT:
The platform, while having many uses, is particularly valuable in assisting a physical therapist in training a patient to properly walk or run following an injury or debilitation. The platform consists of four outer trapezoidal panels sloped at an angle of about ten degrees and further comprises four inner triangular panels sloped at a smaller angle. A patient steps or bounces at various angles on the panels while being tethered by an elastic cord and, in the process, learns how to compensate for ankle or knee instability, for poor weight shift or for poor accommodation to uneven terrain.
